Another great design from the, always expanding stable of ThomasB. (

My version is a 72% scale of his original plane, that spanned 56"(1400 mm).
Construction began with taking some screen shots from Thomas' initial video of the Ebbi, then scaling them accordingly by using his 4.8" Fun Cub wheels for a measuring reference.
The entire aircraft is built from DTF with paper removed, then recovered with light weight , brown masking paper and Titebond II , thinned wood glue. The custom color paint was mixed at a local paint store and is "New Caterpiller Yellow". The paint was applied with a foam brush, with a bit of Floetrol added, to help it "lay down" and not show any brush marks. The trim stripe was masked and sprayed, and the bulldozer graphic was cut out of vinyl .
