It's not full size but it's flyable, not RC.

That's awesome.  Love the picture of it next to a Cessna 140.

 I couldn't help but notice the pink foam wing stringers...... :devil


   The pic with the 2 guys moving it really give it some scale..... pretty awesome home build.   I couldn't find anything on the engines as I don't have FB,was wondering what they were.

Morf they are 2-stroke Hirth 3002 engines, 60 HP each.

Pink foam was only the pre-build mockup.

  I checked Chalenge's link and saw pix of the foam in the mockup and then the wood stringers...... :D
