To see the build skip to post #13 I ordered the red one, but they also have a green, and a yellow one. Here are a few pics of it from the AtlantaHobby site...

Yes, I have everything I need except for the motor, and ESC.
The motor and ESC should be here sometime this week. My setup will be... Motor - Thrust 30 ESC - Quantum 40 Li-Po - Dualsky 3s 2200mah 25C Rx - Berg 7P Servos - SSV-9320MGs(bigger than the recommended servos, but they are what I have laying around) |

First was to install the landing gear, and tail wheel.
I opted to leave the wheel pants off as I often fly off rough terrain. |

Test Fitting!
OK, I slid the tail feathers on, and taped the cowl on just to test fit everything.

There are also two other pics below. One is of the little scale touch they did to the cowl, and the other is of the carbon fiber looking claw marks on the fuse... |

OK, I got my aileron, and elevator servos installed. It took a little while to do that since the servos I am using are bigger then the ones the plane is made for.
Tomorrow I will, hinge, and install the rudder, and elevator, install the rudder servo, install the pushrods, and drill the holes to mount the cowl. After that I cant really do anything else until the motor, and ESC come in. Ailerons are pre-hinged! |

OK, I got the pics changed.
I think the reason the pics in the first post worked, and the rest didnt is because the first pics where uploaded by URL from AtlantaHobby. The other where uploaded by URL from the build thread I have going on RCGroups. |

Sorry I have not updated here in a while, been kinda busy.
Anyway, I now have everything done, except for installing the motor, ESC, and spinner, which I cant do till they get here! I added some decals, then got the stab glued in, hinged the tail feathers, and installed all the servo, and linkages. The pull-pull setup on this thing is super easy! |
