Winter Projects
Here are my winter projects...The fuse's are just about ready to glass.
I'm building a Black Magic V3 and a Pentathlon (vintage not evo<G>)
The BM weighs 1069 grams and the Pentathlon weighs 1029 (but add another 33 for the ventral fin and straps) Still a little more sanding to do before I put the glass on...but I'm getting excited...just thought I'd share<G>.

George, you were not supposed to let the cat out of the bag so soon, [sm=wink_smile.gif] hehe
Looking very snazzy George, we should see those out at the field in a couple of days right.

RE: Winter Projects
Greg,
I started the V3 last August and got it ready to finish in the early fall, then I started the Pentathlon a little before Thanksgiving. I've been going slow on them because I'm in no hurry. I've been playing with some "non-traditional" power sources for these we'll see.

Mike,
More to the point, that production Rapture 110 has a cowling fixed to the fuz (not removable like OXai's stuff) and propably provision for a nose ring....That should make it a much more accurate proposition than the competitors in the air.....
