Guillows SBD 3 Dauntless

This video documents the building, modification and flying of my SBD3 Dauntless. The Guillows kit was built with all scale fittings. Electric motor, speed controller and 3 channel RC were installed. Much thought and planning was involved in providing a battery hatch, servo mounts and control surfaces. Bags of down and right thrust was built in and c of g was forward of that recommended. A perfect damage free maiden was acheived.

Vacuform parts and I have a somewhat tense relationship but I really like that a stick and tissue kit has the crew guys. 👍

I Agee, pilots and bombs very difficult. Did you notice my dope and rip stop nylon covering?
