My Boxxer 95% completed.
I thought I would share my new Boxxer with everyone. I've got it almost done and if the wind will ever die (25mph now 45mph tomorrow) I will finally be able to fly it.

RE: My Boxxer 95% completed.
Thanks everyone! It's been quite an adventure building the plane. It was my first kit build so it took much longer than expected. I believe three month is about right. I even had to rebuild the right side of both wings when a shelf collapsed and smashed them.
I’m going to add some definition to the bottom of the wing so I can easily tell which way is up.
For now I’m using an OS.46FX with a tower hobbies muffler. That should be enough to get me going.

RE: My Boxxer 95% completed.
Have you weighed it yet? I'm wanting to get it to around 4 lbs., re-cut some of the parts to be thinner...Oh yeah, how's the tail flex? Does it flex a lot or a little? How about fuse twisting? Just got questions about a built one so I can figure out how to make it more stiff, without adding Viagra!

Great jon LBB! The Boxxer is not really a beginner kit as it takes quite some skill to get a bipe put together and true all around. You should be very proud of that bird.

VERY NICE!! Man I love my Boxxer, flew it some more yesterday. I think I'm gonna try my ST-51 up front and see if I like it better, I have a TT-46 on it now.

Hey Wessco, you could apply the cf I-beam method to just about anything. It would work just fine for the Boxxer but you would need to basically scratch build a new fuse.

Really nice color scheme Flyer. I'm sure it took you quite some time. You did a fantastic job for your first Plane.
I just finished mine but haven't flown it yet, hopefully on Saturday weather permitting. Here's some pictures.
