Thanks Spanjaard and Nathan. I'm making my usual share of gaffs, but hopefully it helps those who come along afterwards.

While working on the FLIR and camera ball, a dropped tool took a bad bounce and landed on the tail. Disaster. The boom broke off along with one of the horizontal surfaces and the vertical tail. Ugh. I have to refit, putty and repair. So frustrated. In retrospect, I should have placed a pin in the boom to help the fit and alignment. Maybe something I'll share with Brengud.

Really nice work, Scot. 👍
Quite a number of tiny PE parts with this one.
What is that "Santa's Sleigh" UAV seen on your project banner? Never seen that one before. The second to the right in the front row.

Thanks WhiteGlint. There certainly were al lot of PE and a lot of butt joints especially on those door hinges :yikes:

That UAV is powered paraglider UAV called the CQ-10 SnowGoose. A very interesting subject that saw some PsyOps service in Afganistan and some test deployments elsewhere. As there's no kits available, I designed a paper model myself. I would be happy to share more if interested!

Thanks Scot.
That's an interesting little machine. Looks like there is also an autogyro version of it.
Yeah, if it's okay I'd like to see some more pictures of your paper model. 👍
