Al's Model Airplane

Here are the pictures of my recent experiment - FMA Razor 400.  It took about 6 hours to build.  Instead of using the recommended receiver and servos, I used a HITEC 555 receiver and HITEC HS-81 servos.

Below are pictures of the building of my first model airplane.  It was built from a Tower Hobbies Kit - Tower Trainer 40.  The build time was about 50 hours, most of which was a learning process.

This is Paul's plane.  Note, that in the last picture, the plane is after flying and it is in one piece. The pictures were taken at the St. Paul RC Club's field.
