How is the fit of the wing into the fuse?

What size arm did you go with?

Is your airframe the same as the yellow MXS-R in Breitling trim?

The airframe is basically the same as the MXS-R. Wing is a little different because of the swept-back tips. You can't just add the tips to the MX2. Inside the fuse is exactly the same. The MXS-R is a beautiful airplane. Both excellent in the air.

I have no issues with the fit. Looks great. Mine slid on perfect and lined-up with the anti-rotation pins.

I think my arm is the 4-4.5". Plenty of rudder. It can do a knife-edge loop.

Here is the assembled MX2 in the living room. Nice size and stunning color scheme. Wife wants to know how long it's going to be there.

A good look at the business end with carbon fiber spinner and Vess prop.

Outside on the street in front of my house. One finished MX2 ready to fly.

Here we are on maiden day. Mid-Florida RC field at Fantasy of Flight in Sunny Central Florida. It's got to be 110 in the shade.

To get an idea of size, my buddy Mark shows us the top and bottom.

Let us know how the scheme looks from a distance, inverted versus upright.

That looks great but a little bear without the Gary Ward decal set from.... http://www.deadstickgraphics.com/

We're still waiting to order our plane & decals as soon as we get the money from a sale of a car my son sold. That guy better get in gear !! Lots of guys in our area waiting to see that plane !!

Thanks, John

The scheme shows up great on the 100cc ive flown it several times and never once had a problem telling top from bottom and i flew it hard 3D and it very rarely stayed in one position

50cc MX2 with 100cc 37% in the background.

turned out nice well done
Oh and dont worry about ur wife she will get used to it , at the moment its just like a piece of new furniture always noticed , give it a couple of more weeks it wont be noticed

Maiden flight went flawless. Only a small bits of trim needed. I see that I'm a tad nose heavy, so I'll move the ignition battery back just a bit. I also think I can use a little more up elevator on high rates. My engine was a little rich, so I'll give the high-end a little nudge as well.

This is a beautiful airplane that's really easy to fly. It has lots of wing and landings are nice, slow and predictable. Nice glide ratio and responds well at near stall. If you set it up the way you like it, you're sure to enjoy flying the MX2.

I like it because it's a little different than the usual Extra, Yak or Edge, but still gives me the same level of performance.
