scratch built from scrap foam

We think it goes about the same speed as a stock strkyer wing 130 klh rough estimate No coating although it needs it, finger marks stain the foam easily, glued it with 5 minute epoxy used some fiberglass thin matt around the engine mount and a strip across wings, also used a kite carbon spare to reinforce wings. Glad its suitable for your gallery.

Cheers, Jim
