HAHA.. ya know.. Fromeco has always known what modelers really want. And I have used their batteries and chargers for the past few years because,

1) They offer a great product and amazing customer support.

2) They always have cool blue lights on their stuff!

haha its a simple fact. Little BRIGHT blue lights make a product 100% cooler!

Ok. Canopy mounted and drying.
I had to slap the wing on, just to take a peek.

Looks killer!

The really cool thing is, Fromeco provides a template for the wolverine switch and the foot print is really only around 1/2" on each side bigger than a standard hole.

Very soon, flying season is short in Ohio, I can't build during summer (usually flying!), and I didn't want to rush her.
Do not worry, I'll dust off the old thread, and bring her to all her glory!

Sleepy.....You really have me jealous now. That thing is looking sweeter all the time. Keep up you fine efforts.

Today it is raining in Ohio. You ought to be able to finish it up. Can't wait to see it.

Got the call from the Hobby Barn...kit arrived without the swiss cheese effect! Went and picked it up and am already modifying s#!t !!! I just can't leave well enough alone, I guess
Looks really nice, but I am seeing TONS of areas for weight reduction - guess that lack of air up in Colorado got to my head...or didn't get to my head, lol!
I don't expect a Sleepy build outa mine, though, only because work and life events for the next few weeks will be keeping me away from the plane When I get a chance, though, perhaps I'll post my money shot, too!

Put a 150 in her and your problems are solved


Roger

In a plane this size, you can also remove weight by going to Fiber Optic servo extensions all over...
