let's see what we have.

2 pages to the plans. one is for the fuse/rud and the other has the wing/ stab.

nice little bundle of laser cut parts.

can't wait to dig in to this plane.

well, i couldn't wait until the weekend so....
i jumped right in!

i'm going to lay this build thread out in the order of the directions.
let's start with step one of the fuselage.
-NOTICE-
nothing is glued at this time. parts are just wedged together.

Rapid progress! That's funny - tonight I placed 4 roundels on my S.E.5a. You built a fuselage.

Hey Sarge!

I realized I forgot to put together a photo pack of construction images. So, if you find something you don't understand, send me an email, or give me a call. I'll build up a couple more planes this weekend and take lots of photos.

Nice build thread Jack. Keep up the great work.

I like the plane but have never worked at that scale, for RC at least.

I saw one on display at the Toledo show and also saw it fly at the Saturday PERF Micro Invitational. It flew quite nicely.
