Now that sounds like a plan Steve
My construction is progressing nicely.
Striped all the decals, sanded the airframe and just this afternoon finnished epoxying the whole thing together. Ive retapped the engine mount up a size and fitted a carbon fibre plate under the fusalage and through bolted the whole thing.
Ive made new ailerons from balsa and am about to give them and the airframe a coat of ultra thin glass, it is majic stuff.

am using Paul Js Cabots waterbased urathane as a glassing medium.
I am running a high power 85amp speedy. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...duct=10331&Product_Name=Turnigy__Brushless_ESC_85A_w/_5A_SBEC
it is 30 grams lighter than the 80 amp plush so that should be the ducks guts.
I will be running 4S 2650 40C Turnigy batteries from my Alpha (weight 315 grams). Do you think the 4.75 x 5.5 prop will do. Or do you think I could go a little bigger?
