Thanks JJ,

Yep there is a 6mm carbon tube as the spare. and 3mm carbon strip on the leading and trailing edge. also use 1.5mm carbon to on the trailing edge of the ailerons to stiffen them up.
 
Yeah I think some nice Hobby King stickers would be just the go!! (thats a hint if your reading Jason) LOL

Nice work Phrozius, look like a sweet slow flyer! Really nice Cool air intake design . Is that a carbon on your leading edge?
Ready for a paint job or freebie sticker !
Nothing beat a scratch built!

Well here is the video.. nice easy take off, 2 clicks of right aileron trim and it was away!
 
At this point I started to chuckle to myself as it hardly needed any trimming.. considering the fact there was more "eye balling" than measuring done while building I had to laugh.
 
Only thing to be done is add a little down thrust as anything over 1/2 thottle she wanted to climb.
 
All in all I could'nt be happier nothing beats building your own plane from scrap!

Never realy bothered sheeting the underside with these little foamies.. Perhaps I might at some point just to see how it effects the flight characterists. I have built a few foam wings over the years using this method and airfoil and they have always performed well. There is a CF spar and CF strip on the leading and trailing edge to keep it ridgid. Should fly nice and slow just the thing for a lazy sunday afternoons flying :)
 
I'll take a camera down for some footage.. should be entertaining either way...

You didnt sheet the underside of the wing? Dont you get a lot of twist with just the top sheeting?  Also a lot of lift, will definately be a slow flyer!

Interested to hear how the maiden goes, some video would be perfect!

Nice build too by the way, very professional looking for a scratch built.
Cheers, Dave.
