I've been keeping my head down for the last three months building the electric B-17. It is now in the silver. So far the final weight is looking like it will be around 45 ounces or under. For the spec review, it has 595 squares, no flaps, is a profile and has my "+P" airfoil. The TVC is in the .520 range so the tail should be authoritative. The plan is to get this one ready for the NW Regionals in Roseburg.
The fillets are next, some touch-up for the silver and trim. The base color will be silver so as not to become invisible against trees in the background. I'm excited about this one as a fun plane to fly and distinctly off the beaten path.
Also, I will be moving in the next month so operations on the laser will be non existent until things get settled out. Please be patient.
