Took a while to save up for it, and the lead time, but boy was it worth it !

I almost put a remark about, " dont show a balsa plane". Thought no one would do that. Ok ,low tech first entry... :p

How about low tech meets hi tech?

The fuse is balsa, ply, carbon, and an over all glass covering. Wings where CNC cut, by me, and are HiLoad 60 foam. They will eventually be covered with 80/20 carbon and glass.

Attached are some older pics of my progress thus far. Oh...and the ruler in the pic, that's a yard stick. The wing span is 145" and the fuse is a little over 5 feet long. The wing is in 3 panels as shown in the pic.
