Megabar build thread
The history is long for the Megabar. So far as I know, it was about three years ago that Eddie Weeks made the Megabar Molds. Most here have seen the video and pictures on his website.
Recently I was given the opportunity to bring the prototype to flight ready status. Following pictures represent the last three weeks:

Painted today at Elda's demand that I not leave the house with orange marking paint on the tips, so I down and dirtied it.
This is after all a total test bed airframe.
Model came out at 25 lbs dry with no weight needed to balance. 96 Inches Long, 74" wingspan. The next model I make will likely be 80" wingspan.

Great job, I am glad elda made you sand and paint a little more, Thanks for the help with the me 262 and the L1011, i agree the servo servo mounts you made for the ME262 are super strong, wish i could be there for the maiden, but you know got the family stuff this week, will see it at lubbock. thanks again. Wish my learjet and eurofighter were there then you would have something to do.
