Time for some Wisel covering
Took me ages to decide what colour covering to finish the Wisel off with.

Still a lot of work to be done but shouldn't be too long before it gets airborne.

The Wisel is coming along quickly
After making a major gaff with the Wisels wing ribs I decided to go onto the fuselage. The build steps are easy to follow (even for my old brain) and the end result is a super strong fuselage.
Here is my Wisel fuselage next to my newly built Leprechaun fuselage. Just a little size difference!

Wisel Light S Kit from Dane-RC
After spending a very enjoyable two months building my Leprechaun 2 it was time to start thinking about what's next to build. My friend Michael at Dane-Rc who creates these wonderful kits kindly sent me one of his latest designs a Wisel Light S kit to build.
There has been some interest around this pocket rocket glider that we have another 4 kits winging there way to Tony, Scotty, John and Nick.
Michael has already created a superb set of building instructions but I will be doing another build blog to compliment his and to show others my attempt at building the Wisel Light S.
The model comes with various options including putting an electric motor up front and using a foldable prop of having it as a conventional glider.
Here are a few of the videos from builders of the Wisel.
So here a link to my Wisel Light S Build Blog
