| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:25 |  | | Views : 1466 | | All of the bones weigh in at 5.6 oz. Not included is the radio, landing gear, covering, plastics, and the part of the fuse that extends below the wing. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:23 |  | | Views : 1352 | | Tailfeathers ready to be sanded and covered. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:23 |  | | Views : 1242 | | The lower "hs3" part in the picture was not notched on the end, but the other part served as a pattern to correct the error. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:21 |  | | Views : 1260 | | Wing skeleton ready for sanding and covering. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 18:06 |  | | Views : 1154 | | This picture illustrates how tight the joints on this plane are. There is no glue in the outer wing sections and no sanding was required to obtain a proper fit. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 17:01 |  | | Views : 1237 | | Wing center section is complete (sans flight gear and top front spar). |

| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 06-Mar-08 05:00 |  | | Views : 1329 | | Center section of the wing almost done. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 06-Mar-08 04:58 |  | | Views : 1445 | | Fuselage with motor, battery, and a pair of servos. Weight is already at 118.3 grams (4.17 oz). |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 05-Mar-08 23:53 |  | | Views : 1309 | | Fuselage halves have been glued together. Weight is 22.6 grams. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 05-Mar-08 04:27 |  | | Views : 1303 | | Loving those laser cut stringers. The formers are fragile (before stringers are added) but all of the parts just fall into place and every joint is snug. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 04-Mar-08 03:16 |  | | Views : 1401 | | Adding the formers and testing out the power train. For those that are interested - Feigao 1208436L in an IPS-A gearbox, EP-9070 prop, Phoenix 10 ESC, 640 mAh 2 cell LiPo, HS-55 servos, and Futaba R607FS receiver (2.4 GHz). |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 03-Mar-08 04:21 |  | | Views : 1345 | | Starting to build the frame, both sides at the same time actually. The quality of the wood and the fit of the laser cut parts is at least as good as Dumas. One welcome addition is the part number burned very lightly into each part. |
