rcjunkee...

I am a huge fan of Joseph Bridi and his designs. The evolution of his aircraft are mostly adjustments made to the Sun Fli series as the needs demanded.

The Dirty Birdy is an interesting subject because there are 2 different versions of the fuselage. The RCM plans version is a lot more rounded, and I think it would make a better airplane than the more squared version of his fiberglass and later kit versions.

I would like to really know why the change. Everyone has there opinion. The later version is easier to mount retracts in... Maybe that is what is behind it. It would be nice to have Mr. Bridi share what was behind that.

Your Dirty Birdy is very nice. It should be one of the straightest flying and faster aircraft you will find.

I hope you get everything set up soon. I am told it is a kick in the pants to fly. I am building one right now myself. Personally, I am building the RCM plans version using the BlueJay kit.

Enjoy!
