Thought I'd post my latest completed build.
A Balsa USA 1/3 scale Pup.
Covering: Solartex and latex paint.
Power: G38 with Tony Clark reduction drive 32x18 prop
Weight: 42lbs. 12lbs nose weight Think I have room to remove some after maiden flight test.
Gear is all scratch except William Bros. wheels which were detailed.
She flies very scale at that weight and I'll post video a soon as I get it back from friend who filmed.
