it is the 47" Ikarus Taube made from injected foam with a carbon rod LE. I
think it has a GWS 380 with a 1047 prop and I have 1320 and 1800mAh battery
packs.

It's based on the Rumpler Taube with a conventional tail and ailerons.
However I'll follow SP's lead and give it AH stripes once it has flown
properly.

I may have to get some pink insulation foam and make a couple of other
semi-scale flyers to play around with.

In answer to Doug's question ... No, I have no one here helping me (well,
Tia-Lynn was there, but she is only 6 . and couldn't fit through the fence,
so I had to climb over it). I do have online guidance from SP and a non-list
friend who is working on designing scale electris kits. But no hands on
help.

yet another hobby taking over
