Over on Parkflyers Jacko is building New Zealands first TL50 Slice slope, the faster version of the TL50 Slope

The Build Thread is HERE

The latest development is the bays and servo cutouts are done, spars are glued in. Next step is the Riteweave covering and finishing the build. Hopefully we will see it in the air over Auckland flying with KiwiFlyers TL50 Slope

Update ! build done, just waiting for the flight report !
