Die cutting is a little more critical on ribs this size.

Very cool little project. Getting back to basics!

I love the shot of the fin and rudder in your hand, it really gives you the size perspective.

And yet another reason I love this site. Your building a tiny stick, electric powered model and no one is complaining it's not giant scale.

Actually that shot is a bit deceptive. @Bipeguy03 is like 7' tall with huge hands.

I know right? I would love to be building a giant scale but I just don't have the funds this year, so I decided to do some old school and new school blending (I have a Sig Skybolt I'm going to convert to electric also). I would never have even thought about putting this on that other site I would have been ran off lol.

I'm kinda in awe of the attention this has gotten on here, I'm glad because this is literally the ONLY r/c site I post on anymore

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Not quite 7' but close!

I'm actually 6' 6"

Got the other Wheel pant finished and started the cowling, the rings that came with the kit were a little undersized but just a couple of scrap 1/8th sheet took care of that problem.

I carve the cowl bumps out of 3/8"x3/8"x5/8" stick.

Your Zap CA bottles are almost as big around as the cowl

It's so small and so old school it's intriguing. Therefore a lot of interest. Plus the gonads to admit you're on a budget AND to post such a small project picqued my interest and respect as well.

I have a Sig Skybolt kit too. Hopefully when you do it you will do a thread on it as well.

Thanks man!!!!

I can, I built the main box of the fuse a couple of winters ago but I can pick up there.

Finished the wing tonight, which for the most part finishes the building.

Wing weighs in at 11 grams and the tail at 2.
