Status: online 		Well after some limp wristed club members  Just kidding, a couple of failed launches had destroyed it beyond repair.  So I am going to make one larger, 60 size I will have a dolly that releases upon takeoff, then belly land it, It flew and landed really nice,  it just needed a strong throw to catch the prop and take off.

So now that I finished my Tiger 60, I started on the x-1 tonight.

So it will be approx 55" long with a approk 8-9" diameter fuse.  I did stretch the wings from scale, but I wanted a little more sq inch area for the plane.

I got the formers cut from lite ply, and the fin and stab built up. I am going t osheet teh fin with 1/16" balsa so it will be stronger with the stab on it.

I will try to keep pictures coming.
