Flight Report:
WOW my best yet.
Really nice to be viewed in the sky.
She is definitely quicker than my sickle, since the engine is bigger a .32 compared to .25.
I think the fuse is slightly narrower as well. The sickle is still more manoeuvrable though.
Here is a small video of it rotating 360 degress suspended from my garage roof:

The enigne mounted with the fuse open to show how simple the fuse assembly is.
Note the yardstick Spar and the pieces of wood where the wing is attached to.

Masking tape around the servo and glue it into the wing.
