Here is going to be just about some building of the topcat I have. Not as good as instructions but will have better pics. Enjoy. PS. this may take a while!

Here is everything out of the box. Except the fuel cell, forgot to put it in the pic. Below is the SWEET Knee action struts, very cool! They will be treated with a set of Trim Wheels and brakes which are on there way soon.

Here it is out of the box. Lets get started!

Jack of a car; Actual size=240 pixels wide

Fitting the wings to it

Trying to get the dihedral correct on them and get them the same

Going around it

last one, its getting closer!! Itll be done soon

Cant wait to hear it go!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the nose strut and new Trim wheel

This is the rear strut and trim wheel and brake

Got primer on the fuse, took it to mall show

I have all the wood surfaces glassed now and will be priming asap.

I am getting close! Hope to have it done in a month or so from now!

Here is the Vertical Fin Booms and the Elevator, So far I have minimal time into it and its flying together.

Below is the fuse with the VFB's bolted on, elevator is next. Almost looks like something now!

Here is a few pics of the formers I just aeropoxied in, not the best fit, will need a couple applications to get the gap filled in a couple spots, but will do the trick!

Here is a pic of the nose gear former setup

shot from the front, not good pic but you can see.

A shot from the rear looking in

Here is the graphite doubler plates I whipped up for some extra strength, Im sure all my perfect landings wont need them, but you never know, YEAH RIGHT!
