Top Flite Metrick
I have the Top Flite Metrick on the bench right now, on the final stages of building the fuse. Anyone built one of these? any suggestions?

Welcome to RCGliderAndSailplane.com!
I moved to Boulder, Colorado in '07 for health reasons so I fixed up my old DAW S1-26 and bought an Easy Glider Electric to help me unwind and get business off my mind. Having lots of fun learning to fly again after years without... building FSD's Kaze and teaching my kids to fly with the SuperFly. I enjoy building these social networking websites in my job and thought it would be fun to put this one together for glider pilots. More about me...
