now your on dangerous ground !sounds like your hungry for more info - thats cool I have a short story for you. Once upon atime there were these two guys that liked messing with airplanes. Always around them you could hear" we could desgn one better than this, thats easy" Well off they set to do just that first they designed two simple planes to test what they wanted it to look like, then they flew these planes And they were happy with one (This in itself a small miracle). then the bigger version was drawn- fleshed out so it looked like a real plane 3 of these were cut out one was built flown and then taken to toledo where it won a 3rd prize in 2001! Now if this seems to good to be true, yes it did happen to me, only the story line forgot to say that it took 2 years to happen and hundreds of hrs at the computer -building board - $$$$$$$- now I am a pretty prolific builder, I have built about 200 planes since 1988. I would only undertake a project like that again after some SERIOUS thought I did finish one of these for me the first one is still flying well, mine was victim of a radio failure(The one I won no less) I was a little discuraged that day when driving home. The top pic is the two prototypes and the bottom one is the FORCE 5 at Toledo
