Default RE: Shark XV Build Thread

Thanks everyone. I guess I'll use an FP .15. I also have a Super Tigre X.11 that might work.

I sheeted the center section, except for the area where the landing gear trunnions and the ply dihedral brace go.

I glued in the gear trunnion and the ply brace; next, I'll fill in the missing sheeting.

The gear is more for landing than taking off. I will still hand launch the model since my field is grass. It is bent from 1/16" wire to keep the weight down. The wing panel as seen in the third photo with the wire and wheel weighs 2.2ozs (60grms).
