Episode 3
It really is a joy to build this model, Plans are presise, i love the curves built in.
If mine flies as well as the prototypes i will be well pleased.
It will be a little heavier with the glass but found that was no prob on any other depron i have built. (especially the Alphajet)

Well what can i say, awesome model.
Very smooth & precise. Launch was a none event, off Alan,s hand with no fuss at all.
Did not even need any trim. Only got one flight in as the wind started to gust rather high. LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Landing are going to be a doodle.this one i messed up as i caught a gust whilst hovering it in (silly me to try) but got away with it
