Hi All,

Just picked up my V3 kit today, and it's awesome, here are some sneak peeks of the parts. Check Mike's website for more details about the new kit. The kit is not officially released yet and I'll be building one of the first planes.

As most of you know the prototype is well on it's way. Yea, you all heard me talk about the v2 kits being awesome - well the V3 kit raises the bar to a whole new level.

I've prepped the fuse parts and have the firewall parts laid-up in the press with a nice piece of carbon plate on the firewall facing. I should be able to finish the assembly on the fuse sides this weekend and be ready for the jig monday or tuesday night.

There is a huge amount of carbon laminated pieces in this kit. I am also planning on adding some sweet little carbon accent panels to the visible areas in the fuse. With my vinyl cutter I can also add the carbon look vinyl to create super light weight dress up panels too, I have this super cool silver carbon vinyl material, the stuff I have been cutting dragon logos from. I've got all kinds of cool materials in the shop now to play with.

I have a complete set of sheeted cores for the v3 done and ready, so I should be able to get it together in short order. I also have a new YS 160, complete JR airborne radio package and every-bit of hardware to complete the v3 in house. I am hoping to be able to paint my V2.2 and V3 at the same time - hopefully inside of the next month.


I am going to tear though this build... : )


loving it...
