My latest project is John Ashford's Naughty Girl. Eric Rule at RSM asked me to do the test build of this new kit. As I was starting the project I asked Eric if I could do it as an electric build. He agreed but did ask me to dry fit all the IC parts to make sure his cut file was correct. With that I set out to build this plane as an electric. It's been a fun build for me, Eric and John Miller did a good job in drawing up the CAD plans, the issues I have found are minor and were quickly corrected.
Below is are some pictures I have taken to document the build. As I find issues I send Eric a write up and a complete set of pictures of the issue, that way a fix can be generated quickly. On a personal note, I find this plane very pleasing to the eye and a nice build. You will notice in my first picture a jig I built, the idea came from a drawing on the plans. If I had just taken a look at the sheet wood I would have seen that all the parts to make the jig were already laser cut. Oh well, live and learn.
