Oh yes, I do need to get back on project.

My real job that supports my part of the household has been at the forefront for some time now. I am wrapping up a custom home (payday should be next week!) and a remodel. While there are new projects in the works, more time may become available.

Let this be a lesson to me . . . do not put anything on the website (ever with a disclaimer) until the hardware is in hand.

Well, I've got enough projects to hold me over for a little while. How 'bout reviving this thread when they're ready? Looks like alot of fun to be had there... and I'm sure that others feel EXACTLY the same way.

How about late summer, 2005? I have built two prototypes of a new Version and they are about ready for test flights.

The cord is about an inch wider and the rib about 1&1/4" thick vice the 1" on the CL version.

'Should be a bit tougher and is not much heavier than the earlier versions. I am on the aft end of the balance range (needs a longer nose on the next attempt). I need to make permanent "tooling" before I can build a kit. And . . . I still need to fly it.

9.5 ounces with:
555 receiver
HS55 servos
80MaH battery
VA .049

[sm=thumbup.gif] Good to hear! Maybe by late summer I'll have finished the backlog of 'bout six aircraft....[>:]

Lightweight, short coupled, nice span.... should be a double hand-full!

My friend Bob is finishing up the other prototype and installing a Cyclon .049. Both the nose and boom will be longer and we will see how that compares. His weight will be an ounce & one half, or so, more.

I'll let you know how it handles. Or maybe we will get them done in time for Little Rock.
