XL A-30 Build Complete
« on: February 21, 2015, 03:55:51 PM »
Ok, we are calling the build complete on XL A-30 - another notch on Leonard's Belt...as if he needs another one.  It was fun and a great experience.  Test Flights coming up next when the weather settles a bit - Looking forward to many hours of the 'Fix' from this little bird.  I have posted some pics in my gallery.... Proof - A piece a day and it will turn into an airplane :-)

Thanks Frank,
still got a bit of clean up on the paint details, just cosmetic, which is an ongoing thing anyway.

Very nice, Hugh.  I'm interested in seeing how those wings work out.  Be sure to take plenty of video to show to us.
