I've not made mind up weather to build one piece or split able, got lots of ideas , lots of bays to build boxes for, need summat very light

Vinyl if I make one piece , main reason I use it is for strength, lam and that does really help when in one piece , split design is compromise after other wings and it's already slightly smaller than z2

Is spose to be lifting body design and very thick foil in middle, wonder how much that will slow it down , but if it will fly for over an hour I'll be happy bunny,

Click ses no need to put vtx on wing but I have allways done this for good separation and running a lond extention down wing seems mad idea a meter of coax is 2db loss potentially , if I run thick coax it's same  weight as vtx

I don't like that nose sticking way out there like that. A couple of your landings martin and it will be getting snapped right off  :P skids look good though. But deffir prefer the ZII the way the wings come all the way to the front of fuselage

Yea yea Dave ;) that's only dodgy landing ever ;) , normally my belly flops are legendary , badly picked landing place should have thought more landing at that location . You should make Ben an offer for his quad spar be good into into wings , or I'll fetch the zeph mini , sorry forgot it , Sunday as was in car. Show us all how it's done,

How's mini flying now winds died down abit  is yaw better or still there
