Default Custom Profile Build

I finally diecided I NEED a profile. I was a little short an cash so I decided to scratch build one. I dont have enough balsa to build a wing, so im borrowing one from a sig wonder and enlarging all the controls. I plan to use an hs-56 on throttle and standard on all other contorls. I drew my own plans up and I will post my progress.

Roll with it bro!! Some of the best planes I've had for going hard without a care were "Frankensteins!" Keep us in the loop through the construction and get some flight vids!

The rudder taking shape, it may not look like much now, but it's gonna look much better as a progress.... Next: begin building the elevator.
