Allrighty boys, here's a sneak peek.

It's fresh out of clear coat, and just stuck together. But I wanted to show yaz what it looks like. It's neat when you can scroll back through this thread and see original parts laying on the table, various construction slices, etc. This one is almost 2 years in the making. Actual building time was less than 3 months though. I got motivated

This is the Tempest rev 1 prototype, which means I haven't yet made major modifications to the fuse and cowl. Everything else is very close to a Typhoon 2000. This design is pretty aggressive, so it may have some issues in flight. Then again, it may be the golden bird, I'll know in a couple of weeks. I want to get the wings and tail (moments, locations, areas and sweep angles etc) just right before I make a huge change to the fuse. Actually it won't be TOO huge, it'll be wider with a different nose and possibly a carbon canopy. Maybe, I don't know yet. It's definitely a labor of love folks.

Anyway enough rambling, here's a sneak peek...many detail pics to follow over the next week or so.. Enjoy [8D]
