OK, here's my latest -- intended to take the E-Flite 480 and associated electronics from my demolished Extra 300. Taking a step back with a shoulder-wing, symetrical airfoil aerobat. I think I can fly this and learn more about, well, flying. It should fly equally well right-side up and upside-down. This is as far as I got before we left for vacation in Mexico -- where I am right now without any planes -- just my simulator!

The color combo is intended to aid in aerobatic flight. One color on top and another on bottom with stripes to differentiate.

The blue tape is to hold the ailerons in place. No controls yet. This is a Stevens Aeromodel plane and I can't recommend their kits highly enough. Attachments:

Your plane looks great. Can't wait to see it fly.
