Something a little different...
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here is a picture of my Ryan's Rebel, with natural finish luan mahogany fuselage. The wings and tail are Ultracoat. Engine is the Poulan 46 everyone was so kind helping me convert. There is a shot of some control horns I made from angle aluminum. The LG is home bent from 3/16" X 1" 6061 I ordered from Online Metals. $16.00 shipped. I've tried every way I could to use what I had laying around. Believe it or not, it's a bit tail heavy, and will require about 6 oz of lead in the nose. Test flight should happen Wednesday. Wish me luck.

Looks like you did a nice job.. I also built rynsrebel this winter, mine has a 31 CC Ryobi on it .My fuselage is also made out of the mahogany door skin haven't had time to fly yet. Hope you have good luck with yours they are supposed to fly really well.

Thanks. I hope so too. After the test flight I plan to do some dressing up on the wings and tail group. The wing is two piece. I can get 80" in my truck, but only at an angle, so I've gone to two piece wings on all my new stuff. How much does your's weigh? I have not weighed mine, but it feels about 14-15 pounds or so.
