These two courtesy of John Thompson!
You can see the tip tanks on these two and notice the white canopy. The first one departed at high speed on the 4th flight! I reckon it collapsed under air pressure as its quite flimsy. This one is carbon reinforced and now painted.
The engine is a little unusual, it's a Phoenix Mk4 putting out about 26lbs, which is just silly in this model but produces a big grin every time.
