Status: offline 		Paul Westrich and Barry Vogel from the Ohio Dawn Patrol just decided that 1/3 scale wasnt big enough.... so we are trying 1/2 scale to see if that "scratches our itch". Glenn Torrance has supplied us with the plans and parts for the build. We do not plan to do a full build thread, but we will definitely keep you updated on our progress. Our goal is to have it ready for the 2nd annual Ohio Dawn Patrol, July 18th and 19th. Today was our first build day...and this is our progress....

Wow I'm actually surprised to see you all acknowledged knowing us. As soon as Paul puts the chainsaw and axe away he's good to go.

Status: offline 		Ok, we just got through week two. Here is our progress.

The picture with the body only is 12 pounds (will try to update you as the weight increases)

The picture with the body, subwing frame and the wheels weighs 16 pounds.

Subwing- We added two 1/2 inch carbon fiber tubes for strength

Axle is a 3/8" titanium rod

The wheels are two 16" bicycle tires from my neighbor's bike

The stab permeter frame is 1/2" carbon fiber

The elevators are piece laminations - just like the rudder

Status: online 		Hey guys,
Well we're moving forward and expecting to put a full day in tomorrow, and you guessed it, Pauls been avoiding the neighbor kid like the the taxman. Thus far we're guessing the final weight to be in the 60's. The colors are going to be a painted DVI, the green and mauve one with the letter A on the top wing. We would have really liked to do the lozenge, however in 1/2 scale we would have to paint the whole shoot'n match. We'll be posting progress photo's for this week prob. tomorrow night or Mon. Have a great day.

Barry
