Very impressive so far. But I've got one complaint. It's about your workshop, it's entirely too clean. Not only that you've got some pretty cool toys in there also. It's making me feel very inadequate.LOL

I'm sure you saw him at CAMS... he makes pretty much all the meets... Tall, lanky, 19 year old.... He had a rough Comp ARF extra... mostly white with red and Blue on the wings.

I deviated from the plans a bit with the motor box.... I think that the 3/8" frame really helps out with longivity from vibrations. It all gets epoxy around the edges and a "Couple" clamps. |

LJJ if you change the firewall to 1/4 inch ply you can swip another 2 ozs. I have done this on my 40% Edge. FWB
