Very nice.  THe finish is a little "grainy", but nothing some "sanding" won't fix! LL~

I think you got the wrong meaning of  "sanding your plane"

Thanks guys,
Ryan wanted to paint it but did not think that would go over well.

It would not stunt cause I think we needed a better prop. We found a rod from out stunt kite and used it as a prop. Power was a sand crab with duel pinchers. I think we needed a blue crab, but then I am no crab expert. I do like blue engines. Oil content was a little thin, I think we needed to use SPF 30.
The airfoil was a little thick. We tried to "sand" it down but the LE kept breaking off.

Fun was had by all.

The landing gear seems a bit short.  But other than that I like it.
Do you have plans.  Maybe a kit would be in order.
I bet the local cats love it.    LL~

My wife & I were on the beach at Warren Dunes (MI) today.  Wanted to duplicate your building feat but something intervened...   %^@

Not sure I ever saw a gator fly???

Well, if you've seen a horse fly, why not a gator? (Sorry, I just can't stop myself on these kinds of things.)

To paraphrase one of the songs from Dumbo:

"Well I think I've seen, most everything
When I see a alligator Fly"

Actually there was a RC Pattern bird called Gator...
