I don't think I have posted this. It is a Morris Gee Whiz Bee. I trimmed the edges off the wings. She came in at 4lbs 9ozs fully loaded and flies great. Looks like a hot rod on the tarmac rumbling along. A great plane and a freak on the flight line. Perfect!
PS - hovers, knife edges and does everything else well ... except sit on the ground during a stiff wind.

Morris Pen Knife
This is my Pen Knife. A tough little bird. I haven't really wrung her out yet but I think the TT 36 is going to make her rock. A fast build and fun as well.

Actually I used the plans for an edge for the stab and elevator, I thought the tip counter balance looked cool. It added about 20% more area.
Flew it today once for the first flight. It was flying great, then I noticed it getting sluggish. When I got closer, I saw the problem. My servos were hanging loose, still connected to the rudder and left aileron pushrods. I was able to land ok and upon inspection, the screws holding the hatch had split the hatch hold down blocks! I was lucky on this one. I normally mount the servos to rails and let them stick through the balsa hatch. On this one, I had mounted the servos directly to a ply hatch. I'm going to really beef up the mounting rails before I try it again.
Here's a picture of what it looked like when I landed it!

Sig Ultimate
NavyFlyer,
Yes, that is the Sig ultimate fun fly. Got to fly it saturday morning, everything was perfect. Too timid to try to hover low yet, especially as I had to use my stock muffler instead of my mousse can while I'm waiting for a longer header, but it performed real well. Overall weight, wet with 8oz fuel was 5lb 2oz, just 4 oz more than my CG extreme 330. I needed no weight to balance it as I weighed it before I covered it so I could position my servos for balance.

I have never put my servos on the hatch covers. It always made me nervous. You pic reinforces my fear.
