Hi MJD,
Heal up well my Freind.
Like the ProfiLactic tank/guts in this project.
Spars are my concern...
During a max V vertical dive....

Will you be able to "pull out" ? ? ?


Cheers.

Consiering the amount of time a new plane takes with designing,building, tweaking the build, flying, tweaking some more, I'd say you have a good name. Just as effective.

I've never witnessed a more effective birth control method than buying model airplanes on Visa.

Taking shape. Gotta cut the motor mount plate and firewall yet. The section between the front former and the nose ring gets laser cut light 1/4" C-shaped fillers then sanded roundish-like.

Looking good...!
Your nose ring former reminds me of a product that Foremost sold at least one of..[after I got tired of seeing it hanging for years at the LHS].
It was a combo TD mount / nose ring that was a very thin casting in plastic. I tried it and it worked pretty well, even though it looked pretty brittle.

There were a few neat 1/2A accessories over the years, all of them going the way of the dodo. I'm sure I have 2-3 of those ?Kavan? tank extenders, 8 SS film can mounts I got half price before they dried up, what else I can't recall, must be time to root through the bins again. Should try using some of this stuff sometime.
