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

The plan:


copied on Styrodur:




so far:

[AKULA]

It's starting to take shape

 

[tomrommel1]

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

Brilliant!

This rather cool 
Is it the halfman pilot, or did you get the controls wired the wrong way round? 

[tomrommel1]

I suppose it was rather me

[tomrommel1]

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!
