All ready for her first flight. Final flying weight 4 lbs 1 oz ... not too bad at all.
I upgraded my JR10X radio today to the Spectrum 2.4Ghz transmitter module and 9 channel receiver ... it was a whole lot cheaper (about $1200 cheaper) than getting the new JR12X radio. Now I just need to order a few more receivers for my other planes.

First run of the motors after installing the fans in the Rafale. These are some older brushless motors running on 3 cell LiPo batteries so the thrust is not amazing but I'm sure it will be fine for this model.

Actually I'm not sure if "scratchbuilding" is 100% accurate. All the black plastic parts you see in this photo are stock of modified Athearn GP-35 parts. The rest is my work.

The entire cockpit interior is removable for several reasons. There will be loads of lights, fiber optics and electronics going into the cockpit and it's easier to work on that stuff out of the model. Also I can fully paint and detail the cockpit and put it aside for safe keeping while finishing the rest of the model.

Finished up the crane tonight and threw down a piece of track on my bench to show how it would be used to lift the containers out of the train cars and onto trucks ... or off the trucks and onto the train.
