A Leprechaun wing is born

Over the last few days I started to put together the right wing. A little more complicated than I thought but I've given a good shot.
 
It is a thing of beauty (in my mind anyway).

Feel free to watch the journey so far on my 'Leprechaun 2 Glider Build'

Leprechaun V2 Glider Build Continues

Over the last week I have been building my Leprechaun V2 from Dane-Rc. My first impressions is that its a quality kit. The laser cut parts are in general have been produced to a high standard. The balsa quality is good and the plan is clear and accurate.
The fuselage (7' long) is mostly built with the rudder and fin is gluing on the bench.

Leprechaun 2 Build Starts

Having just received my latest build project from Dane RC the Leprechaun 2 glider, I have created a new build page which you can view the build as it progresses.
The model is a modern version of an old design. This version comes with ailerons and I am hoping to fit electric airbrakes if possible like others have done.
She comes with a 2665mm wingspan and a fuselage length of 2165mm with an estimated weight of 2100 - 2300gr and a wing area of 1.14m2
