Status: offline 		I will try to post it here. Its dxf ver 12. shouldnt be a prob to open with most cad's. I also made and sent a file to the laser cutter. It contains the ribs and the ply motor mount. I should know what's going on with that on tue or wed.

That will get you the ribs and the ply for the nose. I did the ply in 1/32. I guess you could tell him that you want it in 1/16 if thats what you want.

Status: offline 		Have to say it's good to see more guys willing to share their plans. Maybe it'll force Morris and the like to sell their kits for a more reasonable price or compel them to extend their market to our little island on the other side of the pond.

Does anyone know of a free profile plan that would be good for a Laser 150sn ([url]www.laserengines.com[/url]). I'm getting a bit addicted to this profile business and would like a 70"+ version of something like the Taco. I'm not a CAD man so I wouldn't know how to size up the Taco to this.

Status: offline 		to resize the taco would be a big pain. You would have to add ribs and some new structure. Check out Ohio model's. They have a 80" 540 profile the use's a os 1.6 or moki 2.1. Not sure what motor you have but you Could take a look.

Hope this help's

I just flew mine today... Man... I really like this thing now..... Flys as good as my 40 size SuDoKhoi.

You flew today, it's a little cold for that today up here. What do you think of the laser deal DA KING was talking about? Sounds like a deal to me.

Status: offline 		Sounds awesome.... Lazer cut parts for scratch building is the way to go..... You could probably even cut the price down a little if he ships things priority mail.... the shipping would only be $3.65... I think I used 1/32 for the fuse doublers.

Hi Paul,

I don't think there is much more you could do to the plans. I think the only way to make it more clear would be to do up a instruction manual for not so experienced builders. I bet that would be extremely time consuming and a lot of hard work, to the point of seeing if anyone wants to kit it or at least getting some cash for it. As far as the completed fuse and wing, they seem like they will be plenty strong On a not so serious note, I think you should change the name to Swany-Khoi

I like it "Swany-Khoi", very creative. But to be fair to Troy Smith how about "Swany-Khoi T2".

Da King

Can you tell me who quoted you the laser cutting? I would like to contact them. Thanks

Ken
