Default Long weekend.

I actually have blisters on my fingers after working on this thing. I've never built an ARF this fast before, but I wanted to get her ready for this weekend. All in all it took me about 27 hours over sat and sunday to finish. My fingers are all torn up and numb, but I got me a new bird. Hope to maiden next weekend.

LOL I save the good props till after the maiden. I also usually reserve decals till after the maiden but I had to spice it up a little. This is the 30%. It has a Evolution 58cc in it.
