Insperation in a nutz shell

Now that I've got a chassis style planes working - lets try a scale one!
In principle this means add a fuselage made from the thinnest depron.

Chassis construction

Rudder - to Marks instructions

Starting the fuselage

Wings on, waiting electronics


Don't be fooled by the aspect ratio - the plane is 15" wingspan!. My new scales from RSC-Technik indicate it should be less than 25g

Bit of a problem with COG so nose has been extendend

Maiden flight - a bit kangaroo like, flies slow, looks promising, heavy landing!

Plans

The plans are coming on just a few days away
