Default RE: HEY! LET'S BUILD A SPEED PLANE!!!

The is GREAT!! CombatPigg, I'm doing something very similar for kicks. Der-S has been most helpful with the thoughts and direction he has shared so far. I'm going with a 21 sized engine in all likelyhood.

This past weekend I experimented with my hotwire and cut a couple wing cores. That's about as far as I have progressed. Was thinking of also using foam for the fuse and using a 'lost wax' type method by removing the foam once the fiberglass has been applied.

My sport/speed plane design is called the HEATSEEKER....an AC/DC reference there... [8D]

Anyways, here's a sketch of my design...I can continue to post pics here, or on a new thread if you like....
