Congratulations on finishing it. Ten years! That’s about how long my scratch-built Orbital Transport sat, from completed assembly, to do all that sanding and filling and sanding and filling and ... well, it has a lot of balsa and basswood in it. It’s done and has been flown on an E18 reload using the 24/40 RMS. Next flight will be an F24.
I love upscales. I’ve got a monster Trident that’s been in the works since the 90s! It’s got 6 nose cones done, 3 more to go.
My upscale Astron Cobra is done. I’m ready to do the filling/sanding on two more — an Astron Sky Hook, and an Astron X-Ray.
