BTE Flying king build
Yea, I finally finished the CG Super Chipmunk I've been building and should have the maiden completed this weekend if all goes well. Now that it is done, I have set my sights on the BTE Flying king.
I cleared off the Old bench and pulled out the kit. After inspecting it, all I can say is "WOW"[X(]. The wood is some of the best I have ever seen in a kit. I have built about 20 kits and assembled several arfs. After rolling out the plans, I found that my building board is to small. So, off to Home Depot for some ceiling tile. The plans are beautiful and should be a joy to work with. I am going to build it as a tail dragger since the person i bought it from already included the optional tail wheel. I also have the stronger landing gear and carbon fiber push rods. I will be powering it with a Saito .100.
I hope to put a candy drop in it as well as mount my video camera on it. I will be taking my time on his build because the kit is so nice. Almost seems a crime to cut the balsa, because you dont see balsa this nice very often. I will start posting pictures tomorrow. As for now, heres a few piks of the Chipmunk.
P.S. If anyone has any pictures of their Flying King, sure would love to see them.
