Eclipse almost done...
 

While a little late for this season, the Eclipse is just about done. It's covered and painted and we're planning for first flight sometime in Sept. YS140L with Hyde mount, and Hitec digitals all around. My father is the builder and I'm gonna owe him big after this one!

Thanks for the compliments on the plane, they should go to the builder, my father. He's retired in northern Nevada, likes to stay busy, and 'needed' a challenge... we had a 140 not doing anything and I decided to give pattern a try after about a 12 year break... and here we are.

Not sure on the brand of paint... he had it mixed locally to match Ultracote. The servos are 5925 digitals. Haven't weighed the airplane assembled yet, but we are hoping for the 10 lb range.

Jim 23 - the name sounds familiar, but I'm afraid I don't know a Jim Kimbro. I've only lived here in Fresno for about two years... and because of my erratic work schedule, I usually fly during the week, the field is usually deserted then... or is it because I'm there? ;)

I am building a Widebody 60/90 as well... great kit, poor instructions. I'm a slow(lazy) builder, so I hope to finish it this winter and use it partially as a backup for next season.

are you going to start in sportsman with a $3000 airplane wow i wish i had that kind of money..........i hope that next winter i can buy my 2m plane.

Eclipse almost done...
 

Actually no, I wasn't planning on sportsman... advanced was the last class I flew in twelve years ago... so that will probably be a good start.

As far as the money... that's why I went to college and worked hard.
