Hi

I am busy with the white one, which is not the ARF version as so to speak.

Will be interested to stay in touch with the build process.

What turbine are you intending to use?

Regards

Hi.

Hawk is a friend of mine.
Hawk has not flown yet.
Follow the flight in 1-2 weeks, depending on the weather conditions.
In Romania it is snowing now.

Hi Guys

As I said earlier I have the white one I am busy building, and trying to "shave" out weight were I can. What is the weight of your aircraft? and what size turbine are you intending to use?

I am hoping to fly mine on the Kingtech 210.

You feedback will of great help and motivation...lol

I am also re moulding the hinge fairings to get the alignment and weight better. Thinking of doing the ailerons as well, but will see how much weight I can save by doing so.
