The plug construction is well under way. It should be ready to glass in a couple weeks. Still working out some details with the shape but I think it will just require some patience and fine tuning my sculpting skills. Soon I will have to cut some wing and stab cores. These will be the actual parts used for the flyable prototype. The idea is to have them mounted onto the plug so I can get everything measured out and exactly right prior to pulling a mold. Unless there are any reasons to do otherwise, I plan to set thrust to zero degrees down, 3 degrees right, top wing at zero, bottom wing at +.7 and stab at zero but being full flying makes it not really matter. May even make the airplane more difficult to trim. It's been a fun project so far .
