Chip Hyde Finals Touch biplane
Just came across what I think is a new F3A biplane this morning ... the rudder/vertical stab looks very large.

My Feedback: (41)
Hey Lewis we have yet to list it on F3AUnlimited.com because there are modifications being made. Once we get the Final Final's Touch it will be up for sale.
We are however taking preorders on them and have a lot of interest.
I've talked to a number of people who flew Chip's prototype and received glowing reports back on how well it flew and looked in the air. Unfortunatly the plane met an early demise due to a complete loss of signal. Chip was really counting on having it at the Nationals. It bummed us all out not getting to see him compete with it.
I'll monitor this thread and keep everyone abreast of the situation as far as when it will be 100% completed and ready to go.
