Default RE: You Got'em Post'em

Here is my Copperhead V-10, named after an early nineties Mopar showcar engine. I built it in the early nineties and have been flying it since about '95. Foam wing, 58" span, 4" sweep and 770 sq inches. All balsa sheeting, dope and silkspanned and automotive acrylic lacquer color and clear. Graphics are mostly painted through hand cut shelf paper, custom rub-ons for the smaller stuff. Powered by an OS 46 VF at first, it has a PA (Nelson based) 61 RE on an Aero Products cf tuned pipe. It seems to like an Eather 3 blade 13x3.75 at around 9,900 to 10,000 on 68 foot (legal definition) .018 lines. It flies at about 5.3 to 5.4 second laps and handles pretty well in calm or wind.
Hope you like it, it's my newest Stunter.
