Default Scratch Built Snowspeeder!!!!!

Hey all, finally finished up the Snowspeeder and am waiting to maiden this bad boy. When its not below zero, its 40mph winds here in Cleveland. I hope to get some video before Spring hits.

Anyhow, I spent some time building this thing from fanfold blue core foam in hopes to make it as scale looking as possible and to prove that sci fi ships do fly... Man I hope to have the CG right.

Just under 2ft X 2 ft and around 24 oz RTF, I should have at least a 2:1 power to weight ratio with the hextronic brushless on 3 cells.

I will let you know how/if she flys. + =

John
