    Be patient - There will be a testflight with videodok, but remember this model are not the easiest platform to use. You need to know a little about CG on the plane.

    Don't forget to leave channels for coax running through the wings, can add the antennas into the winglets then.

    Apologies if its already set up like that.

    Wgreeley,
    Yes, The Wings are foam cored.

    Option "break away"?

    Your OWL progress is outstanding! Are the wings foam cored? It would be great to have the option of "break away" winglets for adjustments in surface area and transport.

    Looks really nice! How did you calculate the required winglet area and what criteria did you use?

    Hi,
    Great job. Will this be a Ready to Fly (RTF) or the plane as a kit and we need to fit with engine and controls?
