Well as i found this lurking in the back of the shed whilst i was clearing it out, i thought it would be a good idea to finish it off.
going to have a single pusher prop and dummy jets, no u/c and just elevator and ailerons.
so i am hoping it will be nice and light.
At the moment it glides very well down the garden, so i am hoping that a smallish motor will give it enough oomph.
fingers crossed.
