Deception Rescue
Hi,
After much consideration, I have decided on my Christmas break project.
I want an SPA legal plane. I toyed with building an Curare from plans (and intend to later) but decided to rescue a half built Deception that I purchased last year from a auction reseller (Wichita Radio Control Club).
The plan is in ok shape, some tears and many wrinkles but usable.
The wing core is pretty rough. Appears to be mouse-eaten at several corners. The landing gear cutouts are badly done. I want to make this a taildragger as I fly off of grass most of the time (is that still SPA legal???)
The horizontal is sheeted and looks to be in ok shape.
The fuse sides are partially completed and broken/dented in some places - looks like an easy fix.
The canopy is here and in good shape.
I can't tell if all of the wood is here, I'll just fill it in with my stock as I go.
I've never posted pictures here before but I intend to learn that today.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
