Well I have done it again, I have started another plane before finishing the Wirraway 
the reason behind this decision is because of my local flying field and as I am still learning to fly and have not yet received my bronze wings for flying I am still at the whim of the instructors being at the field at the same time I am of which we do not seem to cross paths very often or it is to windy to fly so after almost a year and only 5 flights I feel that I may still need to have that buddy instructor next to me before I go solo, All though I do enjoy visiting the field and talking to the members and watching them fly. Over this time I have noticed one thing that there is always a wing present at the field at any given time and they say that they are easy to fly and the foam ones are very resilient to crashes. So this leads me to the building of a wing shape style of aircraft.
criteria
A: It will be able to fly on a windy day
B: indestructible
C: quick to build
D: cheap to get in the air.
With all this in mind I started my search and came across the Assassin by www.crashtesthobby.com and thought this is a great first wing build for me. Lee is very helpful and the delivery to OZ was no trouble at all. So I purchased a multi pack of 3 wings just in case someone else the field would like one and I maybe even able to start up a combat day
with them.
So here is my new build under way,
Enjoy, Ganno

The difference between Scotch Extreme packing tape on the bottom and 3M's Extra strong tape to the top, The 3M product seems to be lighter in weight as the tape is not quick as thick as the Scotch. -
