I hope to have my RV-4 at TopGun along with our Russian Tu-95 Bear (3 years in the making) flying Teamscale
I'll look forward to seeing it. I really do enjoy looking at a multi=year project. I'm in the middle of one myself. Every time I think that I can see daylight, something else pop's up to change things. It's either chickens or ducks, roaches or spiders. I just decided to make the edges of the tail surfaces out of real tubing, so that it more closely follows the scale outline, and planform. You just can't get that shape from sanded Balsa. Nothing major, just a couple of weeks work down the crapper. When folks see the Horizontal Stabilizer change incidence for trim under servo power, there should be a little wow factor there. There is a bunch more, such as a scale shock absorbing tail wheel, and a bunch of other stuff. Here's a sneak peek.
