I have been having too much fun flying and taking the kid to the park/beach/zoo/circus so progress was slower than usual. I made up some time figuring out my servo mounts, linkage covers, and winglets. Everyone likes carbon "Bling" so I made some nice parts with it. Those winglets are 3mm Depron foam sandwiched with 5.5oz carbon. They weigh 18 grams a piece and are super stiff. I will need to close up the bottom and finish the servo hatches as well as the fuel tank hatch and top sheeting.

Thanks guys! I'm going to get it flying first minus the 'full cowl' but the front of the motor behind the spinner has a smooth transition right now. I am finishing up beefing up the mount rails and fuel proofing the engine compartment. I will begin covering in the next couple nights.

Hi guys, I got a copy of the plans from Mike (thanks again) and proceded to scratch build a Demon. I am very happy with this plane, flys great at all speeds, needed only 2 clicks of aileron and 1 of elevator to get it trimed in, so I guess my building is not perfectly straight. I have a Irvine 40 on it with a 9x7 prop and JEN 47 muffler, not super fast but the estimated speed at the club seems to be around the 100mph mark maybe a little quicker. I am going to get a MVVS Quickie 40 engine for it, so with the pipe and the right prop we should be looking at some good speed. Overall very happy and look forward to getting some more speed out of it (I think there is plenty more to come). Club speed record is in serious danger me thinks. Cheers Andrew P:S last pic shows current setup Irvine 40, tuned pipe and 9.75x7.5 prop. Not flown yet but expect it to be quicker.

I have been working steady on the Demon and finally finished covering. There are really only minor things to finish up before I get to fire it up and go for a maiden. I did another Tiger scheme to match my Yak 54. My aim was visibility...

Looks SUPER TROY! That is a delta-man's delta. I'm not sure what a cowl would add to it at this point, it already has that evil, wicked, mean and nasty muscle car look. Checking the speed difference is always interesting, though. I'll wager you spend 20 hours on the engine cover and gain 1 mph?

Looks real good! Not just a slamed together delta.....a lot of time and thought. What's the weight or wing loading? I sure hope you have many hart pounding flights

I noticed your header is still long. Cutting the pipe and ground testing props is a PITA on the plane so I built a quick & dirty test stand to bolt down to something that wount fly away. I used fuse top header like yours (not pictured below), both header and pipe had to be cut to get the short length.

Justin built this mini scratch build from my plans. Not aware of any full size electric Demon's in the air yet.
"It is constructed out of 2mm Depron foam. I test flew it today, and even with a 2 cell lipo, it is very fast. I can't wait until my 3 cell lipo comes in the mail."
