Well, this is probably about my 10th Ritewing Zii build. This one is actually for myself as I haven't had a Zii to fly in almost a year since my last one died horribly =) This one was a quick build, taking a lot less time than I usually take and the results are actually pretty damn good. I did not use any films, and simply painted the foam. It turned out great for the most part. I did end up using the new Ritewing Toughbox and Toughbay. It really makes the center of the wing solid, like a brick. This thing is stiff and has no flex at all. I am very happy with this and will maiden her soon.

Specs:

Ritewing Zephyr II
Hyperion ZS 3025 - 8 Turn 970 KV motor
2x Turnigy Slim Wing digital servos - metal geared
Ritewing 65a ESC

Ritewing Toughbox

ReadymadeRC 2.4ghz Video Transmitter
iBCrazy 2.4ghz Cloverleaf - side feed
EzUHF 8Ch Diversity Rx

Gopro 3 Black Edition

And thats about it. This build turned out great and I hope will last me more than just one season of flying =) Although, the way I fly I'm not sure that will happen.
