2/3 Request

Thought I would post a couple pictures. I did finish this back in March. I first few it about a month ago.

How was the flight ? Looks like it got up there pretty hi.

Flies real nice. I used a couple of number 2 washers to give it some right-hand turn under power. It has just a touch of right-hand glide. It's kind of a slow flier.

Nice job on the airplane . Looks like fun

COOL sounds my speed , Thanks

I could see someone converting it in to a Electric 2 or 3 channel park flyer. I think would make a good first RC model.

Hi bsadonkill,
Nice model airplane ! I like model airplanes that look like model airplanes !
Nice FF field...
-I like the fuel tank, simple is best...
-clear yellow wing covering, is awesome in the sun. Hard with less light.
How much does it weigh ?
~15yrs ago, Dad built his elec versions of Buzzard Bombshells. Very similar to your Ruffy.
-the 36in span weighs 13oz, 24in one, 7oz. Elec RET r/c.
-they do fly nice.
-I like getting them up there, setting the trims, and watching them FF as long as I can...
-Then able to land back on the field !
Don't ask me about the old elec setups. I just charge and fly. 20min timer, then land.
The smaller one has a longer nose/batt fwd/ less nose weight. A 'Turbo' look !
There are allot of cool old FF designs...
Take care,
Have fun,
Dave

Thanks, HalfaDave. It weighs in at 128 grams about 4 and 1/2 oz.
