Hey Andy good to you still at it. I've been a bit out of touch ... winter here in Canada has been pretty bad. It has been too warm for skis and too sloppy for for wheels. So I've been building. Built a 40 size trainer just for fun and a 1/5th scale Taylorcraft with a Saito 62. Haven't maidened anything yet but the way this winter has been going it shouldn't be too long.
Looks awesome. No worries about waviness of the covering. You ever looked at the oil canning on full scale warbirds. You are scale dude!!! Best wishes on your maiden.
I don't think there will be any weight problem. If I were going to check anything, I'd just make sure linkages are good, and that components are secure. But I believe you did all that.
Looking great Andy. We need those heavy engines on the warbirds. Putting a NIB Quadra 75 in my Z Skyraider when I get it finished. So off to the garage and more priming. Good luck and sending good vibs your way for a worry free test flight.👍👍
Andy , Not seen a GT-80 in YEARS !! They were nice engines , Much better than the ' ChiCom' ones that are used now ... The 38 , 45 , an 62's allways ran grate , heavy they were ........ But .......

That's awesome!
She sounds brilliant, look forward to test flight. Don’t have a bad feeling, I am sure she will fly great. 🫡
Hanger rash. You can get a hard as you can to prevent it, still happens.. Beautiful plane, good luck.
It looks and sounds awesome!!!!!! As always! Great job Andy!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow !!! Awesome job looks and sounds great !!!
Thanks!

Thanks buddy! That's the way I'm looking at it now. I have to change up my finishing techniques for this type of covering.
You ought to be proud of her. Looks great.

Shes solid!
I don't think you will have any problems. You will come to enjoy flying it. Just enjoy having it for now .Cheers😅
Dude it turned out great! Gonna look amazing in the air.
It must be lighter than I was expecting since I dont think I'm gonna need nose weight. Should fly well
@@n1114v nice! You need a nice easy WWI build next. The 1/4 scale BUSA D7 is so fun with EME 60
@@flyboywbl I had a big D7, flew great! I just dont like WW1 planes

Sounds nice! ❤❤
There was an 40 cc thinking 45 or , so they offered brain fart .. miss those !!!
Yep....G45! Awesome engine
Looks great
Well done!
Nice job
Very nice wish . I could build like that. Before you covered it did you seal the balsa with anything. Nice cg is over rated I check with my finger's
I never coat the wood with anything......unless the wood has oil in it.
If it wasn't for doorways I wouldn't have half the hanger rash lol
It looks like an airplane. Send it!
In time it will be sent!
No more negative talk pal
Don’t think that gutter is doing much good lol
My neighbor dosen't seem to care......
