Default RE: Building the Smasher for 424

James,

Obviously I'm thrilled you had such a successful first outing. And I REALLY appreciate the follow-up email. I have a REALLY BIG SMILE on my face.

All of the ones I tested were good except for the one with the airfoiled wood and foam tail that I messed something up on. I'll have to try to make one of those again in the future ... Maybe.

Here are a couple of photos of the conventional tail design. Same fuselage, just a different tail. I was going to take the points off on the new plans, but I think it's part of the "Smasher Style" so I'm going to leave them on. People can always just cut them off if they don't want to build with them. Or change the tips shape.
