My first ever proper project.

[jakegazzard]

HI guys, this is my project, a SPAD. Everyone who makes a spad has to make up a name for it so ill go for ''Cocky Coxy'' ( Yea the ''coxy'' may have something to do with what powerplant it has!). Bare in mind this is my FIRST ever plane build and i know its got ALOT of rough edges and glue all over it but im reallly proud. The target weight was 150g but i didnt reach it so it weighes just under 300g inc enginee and rc gear. Wing span is 24''.
What do you think?

Good stuff Jake! great to see you embracing aero modelling in generall, dodnt worry about the glue mate it will end up with more on it anyway lol.

Hows the heli case holding up?

[jakegazzard]

Case is great alex! Glad I got it as i'm clumsy and I probably would have broken the heli by now if it was left on the side
