I think Chad's canalizer is 390mm wide.
The Neptuno is a nice airplane, it appears to be of homebrew variety, but the fit and finish is incredible.

Neptuno is from JetLegend, located in China, and here is the link to their website: [link=http://www.jetlegend.com/index.php?Page=18]Neptuno[/link]
Hope this helps.

The Neptuno is an all-wood fiberglass covered plane that is painted. It is made by one of the Hong Kong team guys - the price is right, I think. They are making an electric version with 2 piece wing - I've asked Peng for details on the plane and I'll take some photos of the inside tomorrow.

Today was another good practice day for everyone at the army base airfield - again the US team, Hong Kong, China, British (2 guys) and The Paysant-Le Roux brothers were there... it was on the warm side again today. I'll attach more pictures... most of these are "guy" shots and not too many of planes... I wanted to capture the mood.

The transportation for the entire Chinese team... all 8 or 9 of them including their planes. It comes with a driver for 2 weeks... this is the way to do it in style.

Today was more of the same... same practice site and same teams flying except the Russian team showed up... I've reduced the size of the pictures so I'll be able to post more in a message...
Here are some detailed pictures of the Neptuno - this is a wood built plane that will be available in glow (one piece wing) or electric (2 piece wing and removable canopy) and it comes with all the hardware (horns, bolts, etc.).

faster add $300 dollars an they ship it DHL. Check out flight line B, it looks just like a finals
