Yeah me too, read lots of good things about the build and flying but cant find any video. Anyway started glueing formers last night, going to follow Erichs thread (thanks Erich). Im not a very experieced builder so it may take a while but maybe I can post some video when I get her fly'n. My buddy down the road is also waiting on his to arrive, plan to build 2 together.

Hey Viso, welcome to RCGroups! Would love to see some build pics of the 145" monster.

Ok heres a couple of pics of the fuse so far. I am following Erichs build thread on this forum he has a pretty detailed thread with lots of pics. I plan to finish the diagonals then unpin it and slide it to the edge so I can add the first 2 formers which hang under the longerons.

No worries dwells, thanks for the welcome. Great build so far lots of sexy curves going into the fuse. I have flown mostly ARF up until now, just wanted to get in the air asap, but I must say Im enjoying building just as much. Dreaming of taking on something like the Fafnir or something next. Have you seen the pics of that thing ? Looks cool as #!@*.

No, I have not seen the Fafnir. Yes indeed, this is one sexy fuse...great job!. I'm trying to get an OlyIII built but am not getting enough bench time :( . Like you, I'm flying an ARF because I wanted to get a quick start. Now I'm hooked...
