Good morning to all. I finally did get my plans set from Nv Aero. I will not be starting till next winter though, as I have a 1/4 scale RC chipmunk that I want to finish first. It's all composite similar to the Kr. I made all the molds for the fiberglass fuselage, cowl, and empanage. Wing is traditional balsa built up. For those of you farther South it's -40F plus wind-chill this morning. Nice to have a good woodstove. Have a great day!
