Chipmunk Brotherhood.

How big is that baseball bat you have bolted to the front of that thing...
Put some elevons and maybe a vertical stabilizer between the bottom shelf and the top shelf and you might be able to fly that table...
maybe take the vise off for balancing purposes?
The way you are going, the Chipmunk will be in the air soon

Trying to get everything except the radios/batteries so I can see what I need to do for CG. Going to build a real simple CG jig. Graphics are a little off in size but that's ok. I don't plan to be entering any scale contest. The 3d printed strut covers worked well and I 3d printed mounts for the wheel pants.

You are moving right along !
Won't be long and that thing will be in the air?
From what i am seeing, you must have printed the pilot as well, or at least parts of him?

do you have a bridgeport and a lathe hanging out in that shop somewhere?
making stuff like that jig is half the fun for me....
i was confused at first until, like Tony, I saw the last photo, realizing you have the wings pulled out....

I may get my wife's scale so I can can see what it weighs. It will allow me to calculating balance of the rest of the components.

Ran some initial numbers on the CG. I am paying for putting 2 servos in the tail as I expected. Fuel and smoke tank will go on CG. I will have to work hard to keep everything as forward as I can. Laying it out as I have done in the spreadsheet brings me to needing 21oz in the nose. I think I can get some stuff further forward than listed but this gives me a good outline of what I am up against.
