Keil Kraft Bantam

Thanks Klippy, there dead easy to do and extremely "free", I used some lovely vintage green silk I had left over from my fishing rod restoration days, the only disadvantage is they take time to do, the elevator took 4 hours!

Slowed down a bit on this but it's nearly there now, just need to mount the engine and install the radio interference.


No idea why the pictures are upside down? seems what ever way I orintate them they appear on the forum randomly.

I'm very envious of your covering skills Paul.:sick:

The end is in sight! got the radio installed ( waiting on the rx and some props) had trouble fitting the pushrods, really should have put all the internals in before covering and I had to abandon the balsa ones and resort to using 1.5mm carbon rod.
Just had a couple of test glides out back and with the cg just behind the main spar it was ok but I think with a tweak it can be improved.
weight has come out at just 10oz compared to the 6 1/2oz of the original but that used a lighter motor and obviously no radio gubbins so im happy enough.
