I just saw on Oxai's website where they have put up the page for Quique's new design for this year's WC, the Ventura. Check it out!

Does anyone know if one can buy those center "cabane" struts that hold the top wing to the fuselage? I don't mean those particular one's that are for the Ventura - but for any 2M size bipe will do.

Not sure how accurate this is, but I got this sent to me saying it was a spy shot taken recently in Japan.

Looks kind of retro to me.

Here is the biplane that Onda will fly... Naruke's website. There is a monoplane out that is the next version after the Altair as well. I don't have a pic for that since I didn't save the link.

Status: offline 		Vince,

The nose is not longer at all. It has the same moment as the Euphoria. The chin cowl is not removable on this airplane, so that may contribute some to any illusion you have of the nose being longer. Also, the empennage is a little smaller, contributing to any optical illusion. Otherwise, they're the same airplane, only the Ventura is built solely for electric power.

I have some pictures of the airplane completed that I am trying to find to post on here. My first impression was that it was a Euphoria with new colors. The Oxai pictures are taken at odd angles that you normally don't see an airplane at while at the field, as well as the airplanes not being finished in these pictures.

That's why there's vanilla and chocolate. Beauty is in the eye of beholder.
Sarah Jessica Parker is pretty to some men but to me she's always been bigtime ugly. It's all in how you see it.
It's strange how many times I've seen a plane or say a car and initially I hate it. Then over time I somehow grow to like the looks.
I didn't initially like the Spark but after seeing it fly and seeing it at the field I've grown to like it. Initially I wouldn't have thought that was possible.
QQ's new plane is sharp. I my eye's its different and beautiful. Mike

FWIW, I hated the Spark at first, but it's grown on me. And Sarah Jessica Parker is hideous.

Like they say, beauty is only skin deep, but ugly cuts clear to the bone!!

I agree about SJP
