Flyboy, you should have no problem with the 4*40, the only real recommendation I have for you right now is that as your first build, read the whole manual through before starting construction. It doesn't take long and will give you an idea of how it all goes together before you start the build. I look forward to seeing you build yours, post lots of pics when you do and if you need help, it's only a post away.

Bottom of the wing. Should stand out like a sore thumb.



Edit: Sorry for the bad pic., lots of glare.

You've done in 11 days what it took me nearly a year to do.

I had good help, my 8 year old son.

Got the base covering on the top of the wing. Still have to add in some yellow..... The top is metallic blue monocote and soon to be yellow monokote. The bottom is red and white monocote.

Very nice job , the big white and read sections on the bottom should stand out very well . I did notice ,you didn't cover the the center , are you planing on fuelproofing it?
I use the metalic blue on my U.S 60 and was going to use brite yellow for a sunburst and the 2 colors didn't go together very well , so I left it solid blue. Then I just happen to lay some Cub yellow on it and it look much better. So if the brite yellow doesn't seem to go well with the blue, you might try Cub yellow

I am going back to finish covering the center. Probably brush on epoxy mixed with alcohol to thin it a little, I did it that way because I was able to cut the covering across ways off the roll instead off long ways. It seems like I have less waste that way.

Is it ready to fly. Looks like good weather( Light winds and cooooooool)

GhostRider32

No, still covering........... Seems to be taking forever......... I am bringing other planes though.

GhostRider32

Getting closer. Will be ready to fly tomorrow, will fly the next day as long as winds are ok. All of the stars and stripes were cut out of MK.

Looks really good. Nice color combo and will be easily seen in the air.

Be sure to let us know how first flight goes?

Thanks Scooterpilot.

More pics...... A little more on the tail......

GhostRider32

All the servos are already installed, mount is drilled, guide tubes installed....... Pretty much all that is left is to mount the engine and landing gear and filish the yellow stripes on the elevator.

Kinda messed up on the leading edge on the bottom. Oh well, cover more and get better.........

Man, it looks like two different planes from top to bottom! Definately won't have a problem telling orientation. Looks good, can I fly it?

GhostRider32

Hey Mark, sure you can. How's the stick coming?

Looks great GhostRider32!

I knew a guy named Zapped! He was from around Houston though. Did you race cars?

looks good Ghost.  Its Saturday evening.  Did you maiden today?

GhostRider32

Maiden tomorrow hopefully. Will be sunny and 40 so hopefully I'll get it in the air. It's finished except I put an old set of Twist .40 gear on it since I didn't have axles for the stock gear. I'll replace those soon because I like the wider stance of the stock gear. A few pics including where I put the Hitec 2.4 antenna under the canopy.
