Don't think I have seen an Aero-Works as nice or lite??? as that. Please do let us know. I'd let you fix anything of mine!

Oh! and what the "Monkey" said.

I can't wait until this bird is in the air or on the deck !

This is so great and also proof there's life after a crash! How did you get the correct measurements for the wings and stabs and control surfaces? Did you create plans?

I had a wing from another manufacturer that I took the airfoil and dimensions from. Same with the vertical and horizontal stab. The dimensions were very close to Aeroworks but the airfoil is thinner. It should fly a little quicker. I'm excited to get it in the air!

Nice. Every plane I have had with a thin airfoil have rocked. Let us know if you can tell a difference.

Oh wow! That's really cool! I'm definitely following this! Thanks!

+a gazillon with the thin airfoil.

I wasn't able to find a cowl so I made a plug out of pink foam. I then covered it with Ultracoat light and waxed it 3 times. I'm laying down 3 layers of 6oz cloth using west systems epoxy. I'm lightly sanding between layers. I hope this works because I really don't want to do it again.

Impressive rebuild. Loving the self made cowl.
