Default RE: Xtra-2000 (all wood)

Here's a few updates, as promised. It started out as a Typhoon 2000, but after building 4 of them and changing things on every one, I realized that this one is so different I can't call it a Typhoon 2000. So, this one is called the "Tempest", and I'm using it as a test platform for my own wing/tail/moment arrangement to iron out a few kinks. And get rid of some nasty habits the T2K had (like not snapping/spinning worth a darn).

Assuming all goes well, I'm going to make the next one totally new....and it will be something to basically replace the Typhoons, with a very attractive, aggressive, and most of all COMPETETIVE design. So hopefully I'll have some plans and fiberglass parts etc. But that's down the road a bit.

So here is a few pics, just to stir the pot.
