Heres a pic of the new Neme-Q Plus.
I haven't seen it yet, but hope to get it in a couple days. I may even have time to get it ready for the Nats.

Great Looking planes Kurt.
This is the Neme-Q Plus that I received yesterday. I have less than 6 hours invested and its ready to hit the skies. Hopefully if the wind is favorable, I'll test fly it tommorrow.
Finished wieght was slighty heavy at 3 lbs 10.6 oz, but I used heavier Hited MG Digital servos.
I don't think I've ever seen a plane that looks as stiff and strong as this one. Really looking forward to the test flight.
One thing I noticed, the wing fit nearly perfectly in the foam shuck of the airfoil that I am using for the seeker......................................

Hi Guys,
Been busy getting everything ready for the NATS. Here is my Vortex at the field, really going great. I could not be happier with it. Taking out my Proud Bird Thursday.

RE: Post pictures of your RACERS!
A couple of Pylon legends have built my seeker kits lately, and I thought I would put up the pictures. Both seem to be flying well.
The first is Cliff Telfords new Seeker, and the second is Pete Reeds.

A.J.,
Can't wait to race you (as long as you are above 1:15 seconds (LOL)). Unfortunately, I'm afraid that won't last long.
Your planes look great.

RE: Post pictures of your RACERS!
Maybe I'll make my next seeker look nice but I figured my first one wouldn't have much of a life span(first year racing) to put too much effort into it's looks. Besides, a fast plane doesn't have to be pretty, it justs looks better with the trophy
I think I'll give it it's first race run during the NCPL Big Race...... I've been racing Daven's old Sonic 500.... By the way, I make a nice set of Seeker landing gear for a nominal fee....

Dave,
It looks like Sept. 18th – 19th Rockford race will be a good time to get hooked up. Rolling rock, right? [8D]
That is, unless you skip out on the NCPL August 7th 428 race to attend to CAPS Classic in Muncie that same weekend.
Either way, I can’t wait... (I’ll have to get back with you on the 1:15 thing )

RE: Post pictures of your RACERS!
I'd love to go to the Caps Classic, but it is a pretty hefty drive (700 miles) only a few weeks after the Nats.
I'll be at the NCPL race.

Here's the latest revised SAM-RAI Phase V. It has an updated fuselage and a more high aspect ratio V-tail for lower drag coefficient. We'll see how this one does when Kevin N. race against other composites.
The white SAM-RAI is the original Phase V and has done quite well in AMA 424, taking two 1st places and Fast Time on both races entered.

RE: Post pictures of your RACERS!
JUST RECEIVED MY NEW NEME Q PLUS. PULLED THE OUT OF THE BOX, THROUGH SOME WHEELS ON THEM AND BAMM!!!. THEY LOOK LIKE AIRPLANES.
I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SAY THAT TERRANCE DOES A AWESOME JOB WITH THE Q-500'S. BOTH ARE VERY LIGHT AND VERY STRONG . ALL THE HARDWARE EXCEPT ELECTRONICS AND MOTOR ARE IN THE KIT. EVERYTHING IS PRACTICALLY DONE. WELL WORTH THE WAIT AND MONEY.
I CURRENTLY FLY THE OLDER NEMEQ'S SO IT IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE. THE PLUS IS SUPPOSE TO BE FASTER AND FLY ALOT BETTER.

My opinion is that the older Neme-q may be a hair faster. However, the Neme-Q plus does fly better, especially when it comes to take offs and landings.

I received a Larson Build Proud bird last week. I painted my new rocket this weekend. Turned out okay for my third attempt at painting.
Here it is...
