It's HOG(Hell On Gutterpipe). A 2 mil 60" wing with 7.5 inch chord. 24" gutterpipe fuse with a Norvel .25 engine.(and illegal mousse can muffler):-)
3 lb. 4 oz.
She flys great, tracks good and straight, very fast,tight loops and turns with the minimum of airspeed loss.

RE: New plane-the H.O.G
Dale-
The glide ratio is pretty good. About the same as the HOR I'd say. I haven't flown it alot, just three test runs alone over my noon hour at the local field. There was about an 8-10 mph wind and she floated in nicely.
I wasn't sure what to expect other then she was going to be fast! The tight loops and quick turns without much loss of speed really was pleasing.
She goes up tomorrow in 'public' at the field. I'm hoping to surprise some of the other combat guys. :-)
