+1, I love the Transaero look.

So for your 777 a gyro on rudder would be helpful.

Quite right. On a real airliner the yaw damper failing is a no-go item. It if fails in-flight (there's on every airliner I know of) there's procedures to deal with it.
Great model! Thanks for the thread.

I'm planning to install PowerBox Royal SRS (with I-gyro). I think it will help.
My friend (real 777 captain) said that model flue like the real one. Instability the same. But real 777 have FBW (fly by wire) system so we will have I-gyro

I had the same instability issues (Dutch roll) with my DC-10. Its a common problem with high sweep wing airplanes. I flew the plane with just a gyro on rudder for several years and it helped some, but I still had the issue during take off and landing in a quartering crosswind. I am now using the Cortex Gyro and it has greatly improved. Much more enjoyable to fly.

QANTAS Scheme!

and wow, Russians are amazing!

Preparing for production of moulds of a wing

Very nice - they are flawless.

air new zealand has best paint scheme

Air New Zealand nice variant, I like old Malaysian scheme

but it's so difficult to paint

Wow! That (Malaysian) would be spectacular if you can pull that off! (and I'm sure you could)

Made some layout for stab, fin and wings.
Thinking about fuse layout, but not sure is it necessary?

How long are those wings? Maybe it's just the camera perspective but it looks like they are 20 feet long. Maybe you should be working the Boeing factory in Seattle, Washington.

Glen

Wingspan is 3000 mm, one half is 1500-140 (half of fuse diameter) = 1360 mm

First parts of landing gear is coming
