Hi Steven
That is some model. Are you working from a set of plans? Very impressive.
Jim

Yes, Don Smith plans. This is not a kit.

Steven, really impressive. :thumb2: Lately I've seen some pretty convincing details on flying models. Enthusiast now don't just go for flying only but authentic detail as well.

Cheers,

Steve,
WOW, a wingspan of 3.5m! I suppose it dismantles into transportable pieces? - just the logistics are staggering - I'm assuming you've built large scale flyers before?

The wing is a 3 piece affair and the fuselage is bolted to the wing. This actually fits in my Z4. The center wing half and fuse in the passenger's seat and the outer two wing panels go in the trunk.

No license required here. Yet to purchase the reload kit for my Saturn V motor I do need to be certified by an NAR sponsored club member.
