RE: Name this plane.
Attractive lines... reminds me in some ways of a Shark 45. If you are married you could always name it after your wife... may be good for some points.

RE: Name this plane.
All ready did the Lawn Auger and Lawn Bomb series moons ago.
A few foldamatics and explodamatics as well.
Ice ,Is based on Shark 45 .
Hopefully much lighter than a Shark.
Finnished framed wing, rudder, stab/elev total weight 13.5oz.....Think I am happy so far.
Naming airplanes after my girl friend or wives has never worked out well, the airplanes or at least the plans tend to hang around much longer then suspected.
This one has been around almost 30 years..the wife that is...
Race cars are inanimate objects and therefore eventually respond to reason. Same with airplanes.
Can't live with them and can't live without them.

Hummm... the Shark heritage how about Mako or even give it canard surfaces and call it Hammerhead? Actually there are well over 1000 shark species... so there should be quite a few good names unused.

Well there is always the dog shark... or catshark... actually I was going to suggest bright yellow for the finish with green highlights and calling it a Lemon....
Then you would just have to take your Lemon and make lemonaide.....

Of course you know these comments are coming from a sport flyer who loves combat... you could just use the wing and a simple profile fuselage and call it TEOSAWKT (The End OF Sharks As We Knew Them)...

Hrmmmm... "Combat"....aren't those the guys who are too lazy to build a proper tail or put a decent finish on their planes?

Yep... I build 10 planes in the time that it takes to build one stunter... and never bush my controls because they will outlast the dozen or so trim flights and maybe if I am lucky the dozen or so matches.... that said I do have a plane from the 70s that I pull test every flight because I cannot tell what shape the leadouts are in under the center sheeting.....

Hummnn...thought I smelled another combat flier.
And was thinking 100% yellow monokote covered.
Tweety Bird?
Thought about Mako but not sure if it fits the airplane.
Shark Bait might lead to combat with stunt planes if a real Shark 45 gets hungry.
Jail bait-sounds like trouble similar to mooning.
I like the idea of all the types of sharks-will see if I can find a list.
Well somehow have managed to pick up a Virus or Trojan apparently from ATT home page. Crashed my firewall and will not let machine read firewall installation disk! So time to reformat, if I disappear for awhile it will be while setting up my machine again..what fun[>:]
Will go through registry and make sure all is normal but when only one disk will not read(ok on other machines)someone got me![&o]
My last combat designs from 70s

RE: Name this plane.
Not a bad looking design at all. I agree, looks kinda like a cross between a Shark-45 and the original Sterling Skylark (both of which I fly regularly).
