Hi Matt,

I am going to cut the cores with a bow. I enjoy doing it…... I was at Top Gun in the early 90s and Mark Frankel had a string of DF powered Skyrays. He wasn't having a good day. Good thing he had more than one. Everyone that flies a Hotspot or a Kangaroo etc. should be flying a Skyray, and be scale. I don't go to many jet rallies but when I do I get bored fast watching sport jets. The landing gear need to be stuck retracted or something needs to be falling off of them to get me to watch them fly. The flat top Vigilante (the Frankel plan) Is the plane I wanted to do originally. It has an attractive 60s look to it. Frankels Vigilante is less scale but things can be changed to make it more scale. I ordered all the 3 views for the Vigilante from BoBs Scale documentation. We will see what shows up. Frankel's Vigilante plans show all the airfoils with 2 degrees of washout in the wing tip.
