Kenny had described that the plane rolls out at low speeds and can catch one unwary, especially on landing. Since I could, and I think they look kinda cool, I made side force generators for it (the wings are drilled for them, the model comes with them, but this one didn't). I didn't photo the build, but I epoxied two 3" wide pieces of wood end to end to make a 6" tall SFG for each side.
The left wing is on the left, the right wing is on the right. After gluing I sanded, then coted them.
Oh... wait... that damn flag is upside down... WTF.
In the process my elderly Dremel Stylus, since discontinued by Dremel, failed... so Wally-World let me buy a Dremel 3000. Decided to go corded for the power; now need to watch my fingers even more carefully.
I also designed a baffle for the cut-out for the DLE 35 that used to be in the cowl, and decided instead to create a louver system to drive intake air up through the electric motor. I will need to build another set aft to draw the air out. Getting kinda tired of building louver systems... I finished the build and painting. Tomorrow when I install it I'll post photos!
Okay, calm down citizens... here's a preview!
