John,

If you give the surface a good smooth buildup of clear and really thin the silver it will fow out and cover better.   

Well, I fly the Green Giant, it was SWEEEET!

Got in four flights over at the local school with my boy.  The wing I built creates so much lift if rises off the ground with no up elevator, actually took to giving it down elevator on the take off run to build up speed.  Couple notes to self. 

Half a tank (tank is a 1oz clunk) is more than enough for me (bout 5-6 minutes) and it actually flies better on a 1/3 tank.  Very fast tight manuevers.  The .061 witha 6X2 AC pulls it CLEANLY through a loop, both inside and outside.
 
Need to lengthen lines at least 10'.  35' lines are just too short to effectively fly clean manuevers with this big plane and at the speed, (3 second laps) it was going through fig 8's faster than I could keep up with it.

Glide characteristics are excellent, got a full lap after the engine cut out and pulled in for a clean rolling landing.  My boy was like  (woohoo DAD!)

Another note, I suck at flying upside down on short lines.  Looks like I built it plenty strong enough too, cause I pile drove it at full throttle.  Pulled a little monokote loose from the fuselage and broke the prop, but no other issues that are visible.  Everything feels good and tight.

In all I LUV the Green Giant!

Hey Ray,

Thanks for the props, feel free to use anything you want, I'm just in this cause its fun as he!!.  Only reason I went this way was it was fast and could accomodate the clunk tank I wanted to use.  I just never can seem to get an external tank to look or work right.  Stick it in the plane and voila, we have a flyer.

Yep.  Its a little light on the controls til the tank gets to about 1/2 or 1/3 full, but then its anything goes.  1/2 a tank is plenty for me anyway so I just put in 4 tbs (I use a medicine syringe from Target as a fueler, they are free  ) and have a ball.
