i think that was meant for me thanks yeah going to make it fully flyable but let a pro fly it least couple times then she gets hung up in rec room I'll stick to cheaper models for my crash n burns fail compilations lol

indeed it was for you . Sorry Smidge and props to you to for knowing the models and such. I put my glasses on. Cool model and flyable. good luck with it. looks like you have done a few by the lay out.

TBH its first actual scratch build of course i built couple that were pre assembled like adding a wing but like i said this is pretty intense going off blue prints and trying to understand it all .....
literally building a down sized scale of a real plane haha
its always been on my Bucket list of things i must do
But its more for advanced builders so again might of went little over my head but i know i will get her done and done right it just might take for ever lmao
