Winder build

[Gordon Van Tighem]

My favorite, out flew a couple of winders, had one that would hinge (half roll) with full up or down. Freaked out the competition. Also struggled through at least one Guillotine!

Here's what I've got so far on building the Winder with electric motor.  I added a removable nose gear so that I can launch by myself.  There is a hatch for the battery and ESC compartment.  The hatch is secured by magnets.  The small screw head is a handle for removing the hatch.  Plan to add some vents on the underside of the battery/ESC compartment for cooling the battery and ESC.  I widened the sheeted area to make it easier to attach Monokote covering.  Plan to paint the center section, and Monokote outside of that.  Added a length of 1/8 x 1/2 hardwood strip to the back of leading edge in order to increase strength.  Need to decide on how much wingtip weight to add.

On my planes I would add 1 ounce out board tip.
