Holy crap JIA, that thing is amazing! It looks so scale, especially when the engine hump gets added. Awesome job, and the pics are great as usual.

The hump didn't quite turn out like Dad intended.

No hump for now.

Flying is a blast. I used to get people interested in flying with my Micro-Speedwing. With brushless, would hit over 70mph. That is bloody fast with a wing @ 16"... Plane got torn apart by a red tailed hawk who I bet thought I was diving after its food.

I know your Dad can get that engine hump made. Can't wait to see it. Need to strip the thing down and get some powder coat done. It holds up much better.

Hey JIA,
I'll be trainning on the flight sim for a month before I touch fly my trainer

Take care and say Hey to dad,
P

He made two attempts last night to make the hump.

Tried using a sheet of aluminum and bending it to shape.

If Dad wants it, I might make a steel one for it that looks like the hump on the 1:1.

Heading out to the lake today for pictures

Is it me or does the pictures with him and the tuber in it seem RCDriver worthy

The tuber looks fantastic and I hope he's enjoying crawling the rocks
