Very Nice
Super work so far!👍
Gotta love the 222, I flew this one back in the day.
Nice Job.. !!!!
Nice…
I am amazed at how aggressively you flew that on the first flight! Looks like it holds!
Hey Michael, of course its holds,
After all it is just a fuselage around a Trex mechanic, that was originally desiged for heavy 3D work. The mechanic inside is the original T Rex 700 , with attached tailboom like the original machine.
The Vario Jetranger 3 that i build some time ago was done the same way, having a lot of flights since.
It looked a lot bigger in the video!
Love the detail!
Nice idea for the battery tray, and I love the rivets details..
Luckily I was able to place the lipo's next to the mechanics instead of in the cockpit, CG point is just fine now. Lipo's tray's supported directly by the metal frame, so no load on the fuselage.
