My Triton arrived yesterday. And I’m off to a pretty good start. Pic’s maybe tomorrow? Very nice kit and instructions.

I want to see what yours looks like so get some pictures up. This is today's progress. Just need to hook up the elevator, place the nose on, and get some decals. Hats off to Ken for a great design.

Unfortunately i built this plane and did not test the electronics. It flies with authority so i think it will work but i have no test data. I might rig up a pull scale just to see what it pulls.
