Just out of interest Tony .... can you check the weight of that before you start work on it?
It does look like it's going to be very tail heavy & you may want to drill some lightening holes in the tail & film or tissue it.

Electrickery is the work of the devil.

Looking at that very short nose I would say it needs a lump of alloy to power it.

dug it out this afternoon and had a look at the rudder.
it was fun designing it without any plans and sorting the counter balance weight.
so thats the rudder built, need to sort the robarts hinges next, then cover.
might have a look at the cowl tomorrow.
see how the lanc goes.

well i thought i would look at the cowl.
2 3mmply formers and start planking.
lots more planking.
then cut yet another 3mm ply former and do some more planking.
needs alot of sanding to shape and the very front lip sorting.
looks ok ish i think.
