Here is what I did this weekend. I made the rudder and started cladding the body in wood ( made from Styrodur )

The plan:

So I have finished the Styrodur build for now . Next step is putting in the canvas covers on the hull and fixing the wings. As you can see I started on a flight stand . The flyer is fixed to it by a magnet which enables me to put it on the start ramp too once I build it.






Sorry for the pictures being the wrong way round  :? That can only have been the halfman pilot not being accustomed to the controls yet  ;D

This rather cool  8) 8) 8)
Is it the halfman pilot, or did you get the controls wired the wrong way round?  >:D :D

So here are the last pictures before painting commences . I am not sure if I can build the launch ramp as well as I have not as much time as I thought to finish this project in time.

So here is the halfman pilot :





The prop is driven by 1 HMP ( Halfman power) similar to a bike:



And the complete Halfman Long Range Flyer (HLRF)





The next pictures will be the painted ones in the comp!
