Naked Baby Bombshell...its now covered in Black and Baby Blue, but I don't have a digital camera so the film isn't developed yet. Sadly, I don't have the guts to fly it, I'll get over it I'm sure.....

Aliens stole my brain. Some of the planes are really nice so I thought some contrast was needed. I'm in may garage looking at the walls while waiting for 2 sub-micro server to here in the week so I can finish my flying wing. I threw this togeather in about an hour and I'm thinking another hour of construction and I'll be flying it. .020 should be good. The best thing about this, it's the Balsa USA box and so far there's no balsa used in it.

Mike_Mc:

Took you an HOUR to do that? Fifteen minutes, plus five to find the screws for the control horn.

Try this one. Geared 280 electric, but the 0.061 was an alternate power source for it. Was sold through Norvel, name is obvious.

Here is my Heinkle (takeoff from the actual "Heinkel") - a plane I designed and flew a couple of years ago. I have hopefully learned a lot more since then design-wise...

Funny how your design structure looks good on paper, but when you actually build it you find pleny of errors

It is now hanging up in my sons room, hopefully fueling his airplane imagination.

Fad,

I just scaled down the pans for the OMP Edge 540 profile to fly with an .074. I got the ribs cut out but that is as far as I have gone.

I sure wish this thread was 2-3 weeks from now as i got several small plans being built. The first is a Hornet made into a gull, stagger wing bi plane I am calling the "Horny Canary" after the two planes I got the idea from(Hornet and Hot Canary) and ofcourse the aformentioned 1/2A Profile Edge.
