The 'Essie'. Based on the SE-5a, she's a foamie with some balsa and light ply.
The model's built from pink foam, covered with newsprint and brown Dollar Store wrapping paper, using a 50/50 mix of Titebond II and water. Final painting is rattlecan Rustoleum. Roundels are Ultracote/Profilm (except for the rudder; that's paint, blue Rustoleum, and red Ultracote).
TowerHobbies Millennium Master comes in just over $100 and has a sweet Brushless motor, and all the electronics besides a receiver making this a Rx-R Plane!
