This is my first RC plane. Have built RC cars, boats, and several Guillow's balsa kits in the past. Took about 10 weeks to build. It was a lot of fun and a huge learning experience. I got lots of great ideas here at RCU. Thanks to everyone who contributes. There's a new 4*60 kit waiting in the box that I will start soon. After that will be an Ultra Sport 40 thanks to those who helped get it revived.

Used transparent Monokote and black Ultracote, Great Planes Scale tailwheel, and an OS 40 LA for blistering speed. The Harley logos came from the local dealer and were sealed with clear nail polish as were the white vinyl stripes I cut from scraps from the local sign shop. I elected to build it with the Sig-recommended dihedral and 3 servos for simplicity and classic looks.

All I have to do now is learn to fly it. I hope it lasts a while. Wish me luck.
