Out of the moulds

Pulled it off the 'nest' yesterday, and started adding side panels on the cockpit.

Balsa is hard to beat as a lightweight, self fairing material.

Model weight around 8 kg, so its looking good for the final test weight of ~19kg

Slow Progress - but finishing Topsides is underway

Moving house, shed renovations have slowed me down considerably, but some progress has been made.

Fairing of topsides has commenced, and completing the removable cabin is underway
