Here is the Build Log I had promised Sujju I would upload

The fuse build is fairly straightforward (once you figure out which part is which :) )

Balsa quality and die cutting quality is good. Wing is built in the normal way, ribs, spars, sheeting

I wasn't too happy with the Dihedral Braces with the kit, so modified them

Tapered & rounded the Aileron backs for easy rotation

Reinforced the wingtips (for my special landings  ;))

Made & fitted Servo Trays for the Ailerons

Monokote clone. I've found 2 pices of tape at right angles and a firm yank are the easiest way to remove the backing film  ;D

AUW with 2200 mah LiPo and L/G, motor but without monokote was 662 gms. Not bad!

Thanks Sujju & VC. There is a certain purity of aeromodelling when building a balsa kit  :thanks: :D :D

Used transparent monokote (clone)  Not such a good idea, every little defect gets highlighted  :o 8-) :-[

great build, transparency is adding to the sex appeal  ;)

Thanks Gusty  ;D. Only problem is every flaw, every bit of spilt cyano, every pencil mark shows up, actually gets highlighted  :giggle:

I noticed RCB sold out it's stock of this model. Would love to compare notes with anyone else on this forum who built it.
