Put big enough motors on it and it'll fly just like it is! :P Are we going to see it a Sherman or do we have to wait until Wichita?

I should have 2 of them done by Wichita.
It is always easier to build 2 rather than 1.

This is cutting the outer panels for the wing with a single template at the root.

Wing sanded, lined up with strait leading edge, and clamped down with strait edge. Cut rod trough.

Line up the booms and glue them to wing.

Next week install verticals, install motor mounts, but I need the motors this weekend to whoop up on these tx boys.
