First wing half done. Half way through the second one now. :)
That mini linear servo looks huge!

I'm up to carving a nose, right intake and a canopy plug now. :)

Quick and nasty plug to form the canopy. :woohoo:



Roger comments: looks good to me, but you could have asked me for the original plug! :P

Hmmm, looking yummy, can't wait for flight tests.

Roger adds:

this is indeed coming along nicely. One question: will control be by elevons only or rudder plus elevons? The reason I ask is that the 'Jetex' versions are excruciatingly sensitive to the elevons!

Jetex' versions weigh about 30-33 grams. How is the weight coming along? :dry:

Just the elevons for control. I used to fly micro pusher jets with elevons only so got good at controlling twitchy flight. ;)

It looks like the weight will come in at around 40g for the model and 9 grams extra with battery added. The next fan I make will be much lighter as I learn all the tricks for 3D printing models really light. This first fan unit is a bit of an oinker.
