Flanker nearly ready

The new Su27 Flanker is all-but ready for its maiden. Was to have been yesterday, Sunday, but a last minute electrical glitch has postponed the action. Here's a photo of it with all the graphics completed - it won't look any better than this!!



In fact it will probably get tatty pretty fast 'cos I built it light to try knife edge. I still wonder how it will go on its side but might have to replace the fins with something more substanial fairly early in its life.

The maiden won't be today (Monday) due to a shortage of time and the wind is up to around 20kts E so a bit strong to be trying out something new.
