As of 28Feb - making progress with structure and close to cover time. It's only been in-work since 2013 (stagnate in a box for the past 7 years) I'll get there 😉

Seeking any thoughts to several points for this build...
- Propeller(s) build-up, blade orientation and alignment. Any thoughts as to how to enable it to free spin?
- Covering material: silkspan or tissue?
-Landing gear: I'm considering making the landing gear detachable for flights (and may be displayed with gear). any thoughts?
Other issues...(?)
