Hey Fellas.

Thanks for the replys. Ive got a few pics from JR in TX
that show the initial framing of the fuse and initial construction of the wing.
I'm thinking of purchasing a vacuum press from veneersupplies.com to
bag the wing.
Ive never scratch built from plans before.
I'm just now to the point of tracing the plans and cutting out templates.
However, I'd like to see equipment locations, mounting, harware ect. just to begin to get
some ideas.
Looks like you got retracts in the attached pic. What are you using?

I plan on using a JC P-80 for power. I'm going to widen the rear of the fuse 1" to accomodate the P80.
I was thinking of using a Dubro 50 oz tank with a 24oz up front and a UAT
Servo will be Hitec 945 on the wing and Hitec 625 everywhere else.
Planning on a 1800mAh 6volt with voltage regulator for power.

What are you guys using?? Any suggestions??

Thanks
Jeremy Smith
