This is my new design the Strega 45.
Designed for 40 to 45 rear engines.
The plugs are ready, painted and polished.
Today I am working on the second part of the cowl.
This week I can start with the fuse mold.
Some pictures:

Status: offline 		Beautiful work on one of my favorite planes. As Greg asked, what airfoil, and most importantly - how do I get one?

You can order at speed models.nl.
First I will build the proto but I know how it flies because I used
the airfoils from an earlier design.
The root is 9% and the wingtip is 8% both semi.
The model will fly on rails, stable and depending on the used engine fast.
With an YS 45 it will be a sportmodel, with a Dub Jett FAI a racer.
You can use a muffled tuned pipe or an open tuned pipe.
An open pipe will give more power.
Best regards,
Look.

Thanks, Terry

Status: online 		Cool, looks like that's 460 in2 so for RCPRO I can use a 45 2C or 91 4C.

Keep us posted. I'd love to build one of these.

Blessings, Terry
