Banana, build log of a 4ch RC trainer

After eight weeks the Electric Banana is complete and ready for a maiden flight. AUW: 620 gr / 22 oz and powered by a 1300 Kv motor, 30A ESC, and a 3S LiPo/2,200 mAh battery. Wing span of 38 inches and a wing cubic-loading of 10.6. Power measurements with an 8x6 propeller showed a maximum full-throttle input power of approximately 140W. Assuming an efficiency of 80%, would yield about 110W maximum. According to my calculations this is more than sufficient for a basic 4 channel training and some aerobatics. Some pictures after an outdoor taxing test.

Finally got my covering tools delivered. The covering iron was much easier to use then the household iron I tried before, and the hot-air gun was a huge surprise. I've never used hot air to stretch Monokote (or Monokote-like) covering, but the results I managed to achieve would not have been possible by simply using at iron. After completing both sides of the wing I decided to adorn it with some decorations. The bottom of the wing will get a checker box pattern in red, and the top of the wing will get a few red stripes to break the monotone yellow. I am using the Windex method to activate the glue and fix the red decorations to the yellow covering. I was told that I could do this only with original Monokote covering material, which is what I am using. So far, the Windex method works well, the liquid dries up, and the squares seem to be securely fixed. The fuselage finish has a natural balsa look with only a few coats of varnish. I am using Sanding Sealer for this instead of Dope, w
