Default the ORCA is done

Here are few pictures of my rendition of the ORCA, icluding some in it's carrying box. The Orca was scratch built from a single 2 X 4 using plans by Pat Trittle.

It is powered by a single Master Airscrew .05 motor through a 3:1 gear reduction and runs on 9.6 volts. The radio is a Spectrum dx5e. Searchlight
and running lights operate and the gauges on the instrument panel are also illumninated. Later I may add a horn.

I haven't been able to run yet (except in the Jacuzzi) as we have three feet of snow in Pennsylvania.
