Default RE: Pentathlon Build Thread

Well, got the urge to build again and here is where things ended up..

I have to comment on the quality of the laser parts and how everything fits so nicely together. its like putting together a 100 piece puzzle!

The canopy goes together so quickly it surprised me... i left it in the saddle when i put in the stringer to maintain the proper distances, worked out nicely.. very rigid structure already. i am thnking about removing a LOT of extra wood in the base of the canopy..

PLEASE remember am building electric and not sure how weight will turn out so i am being over cautious on weight.

The prototype with no lightening done and built totally stock with ys 160 dz in it weighs 10 lbs 10oz with a fiberglassed/painted fuse.

SO.... it will easily make weight as a glow plane.
