Really looks good, a little like last years German World record thingy. Gonna have to find the original thread if it has flown. You know me, my big question is "will it turn"? FIRE 60LX? Only way to go.

Hey Erik,
You did see what it looked like when finished! The props....... The screaming delta over on the wall.... Sir Charles of bezerk...
Man, that thing is bad! I do fiberglass and I have to say from a professional stand point that Slip stream IS the work of a master. Absolutley beautiful craftmanship.
Talked to your budy yet? I still want to make a copy of your mold.... I'll share a mega bad wing.... check your e-mail.

Here is a little tidbit for you, his system is Deltron PPG and I did'nt even have to buy quite all of the concoctions involved because he had some stuff still stocked from years ago that he still trusted enough to use on our pride and joy, BUT at the paint shop I still spent $444.44 to paint a 40" x 40" airplane.

This IS a big airplane for speedy deltas the way most guys who have designed them in the past think, and the prototype Slip-Stream is a stout airplane in every way for her designed flight envelope, 7.5lb dry; and I self hand launch her with a pound of fuel onboard. -But- do the math, an 8lb + airplane at 800sq" always handles even better then the same airplane at 4lb and 400sq", Soo yes she turns quite nicely.

I am not a big fan of the wingy things, but that really looks good. I always thought it would be cool to design a speedy incorporating an old CL Speed pan.
Good luck. Looking forward to the pics and reports.

Hence the genesis of our design.
