| For those that are looking for a little speed, I'm currently building a little 20" wingspan funjet to buzz around the site Auw should come in at 9 ozs Motor 2800kv with 4.75x4.75 prop Esc 30 amp servos x2 6g I will be modifying the original design to incorporate a laminated canopy so i can get a little more shape into this area, I also intend to reinforce the box fuse corners which will also give me more material to sand more profile into the boxed fusealage. The build so far has been extremely easy to do and I don't see any immediate faults with the design but only time will tell. | |

| Jeff thanks for the words Its good to hear feedback like that I know I have said this before but building these planes is real easy to do I wish I had white depron as the black will be a pain to get colour onto that body. I work in Stockton most days I take it you use Simon for all your local spares I do when i want something quick like a carbon spar | |

| I'm not going to push the speed angle on this one as I'm only using 2 cell lipos, who knows I might switch out the motor after testing and shoot for the magic numbers.

| Carbon spar 3mm £4.99 from local lhs Kiddies Kite from the local pound shop with carbon and fiberglass spars £1.00 each, its a no brainer really but a good tip if your looking to start a scratch build. | |

| Quick update on the build, Spars are epoxied into place (3 in total) it certainly stiffens up the wing. The electronics should be here tomorrow then the body can be fitted out and glued up, that's when the shaping starts, it will turn this bird into a little beauty. | |

Thats the same motor I use on the saab grippen I've gone for the 2805 2800kv for this funjet, the speedy carries this little beauty and I highly recommend it http://www.giantcod.co.uk/keda-thumrun-282614-outrunner-brushless-motor-p-403664.htmlof course its outa stock atm but its worth waiting for as it covers a very wide power scheme suitable for most planes. | |

| Well the Build Is now complete and all wiring in place, tests show 80 watts on 5x5 prop running a 2 cell 1300mah lipo. Just need this white stuff to go and I can maiden. Auw excluding lipo comes in at 5.4 ozs so I'm expecting this one to move well. | |
