First wing to fuselage mating. Went very well with just a touch of sanding. Started weighing pieces, could be in around 40lb bracket

Gene,

A few pics of the progress of the TF C-47, Its been a little slow, but I got it moved to the front of the line. This will be a E-powered .32 size twin, have not decided yet on covering and paint, hence the partial covering. I cut weight were ever I could. Current weight is only 7lbs, minus Batts,Props and ESC's. Send me your email address Gene.
