RE: Hotser
Looks good Dave..!
The Hots was one of the most impressive planes I ever saw back around 1990. The pilot was a guy who had been asked nicely to leave the local "inside loop only" club.
So back then the best RC airshows that I ever saw were at a high school field on the weekends.
Competition FunFlyers with the fat wings and arrow shaft boom fuselages seemed to come next but lacked knife edge ability.
The "Hots Guy" could fly his plane pretty fearlessly because he had several kits he cut out after making a set of templates.
IIRC, he was the first guy I ever saw hover a plane.
Can't wait to see your vaccuformed cowl. I tried vaccuforming with a kitchen oven but never got too far with that idea.
