ESM Bf-109E kit bash

I have now modified the 109 by removing the unreliable DLA 32 and replacing it with a Syssa 30. I have also added an instrument panel (pics to follow) and Sierra Precision retracting undercarriage. I enlarged the wheel wells to be able to take the ESM or YT rubber wheels with aluminium hubs. These are far better than the foam tyres which were supplied. Dry weight is now a shade over 11kg and I am using an 18x8 prop. I have moved the c of g backwards from the test flight point of 95mm to 105mm and this has made it a very nice flyer indeed despite her being over 4kg overweight.

Please excuse the proken prop, a cross wind and
gusty conditions heralded a rather rude arrival.
