Super nice Job There Towelly and the Herns Hobbies embalem on the Verticle fin is a great touch !!
I really like the Pull pull system for the controll surfaces. I'll bet Herns Hobbies never stocked that Kevlar thread tho' !!
Just under 600g is absolutly brilliant for 500 square inches!!
Interestingy enough my Viper which has the same wing area, it about three times the weight !! And I think of it as reasonably light !!
You are more than welcome to take it for a few laps of McCoy field, I'm certain it'll come in under the noise limit with the engine being so small and diesels make a fair bit less noise than glow engines too as they usually don't rev anywhere near as hard.
They even smell a bit like burnt electric motor
