Javelin build

I did this for a Grandson, this fuselage was pretty lame. I added some extra size on teh crossmembers, added gussets and it still flexed when I tissued. Got er dun, but I went back and removed the landing gear, and changed the wing to fuselage joint by adding some dowels. It actually flies.

Almost done, the Fuse just needs one more piece then needs to dry before I can put it together.

Glide tests are unbelievable. It floats as if it has some helium in it!

the side view of your wing looks as if there has been quite a warp on the tip. hopefully that doesnt screw up the flight on this thing...

No, Its just the angle.

i should probably build myself a javalin. but right now, im building one i designed that is for rubber FF, so it will have to wait.

dont think im allowed. everyone is pretty strict around here about only posting guillows planes. on the board rules and stuff it says nothing about only being able to post guillows stuff, so i would say its ok. but....
