Thought you other small engine lovers might enjoy this little plane. The plane below is the second 1/4 A pylon racer I have designed. It is called the Veloce (Italian for RAPID). I built this to race against some of the local guys. Matter of fact, DickeyBird posted one of my challenger's great lookin little planes called the Hotshot, designed by Brian Pate.
Anyway, the plane has just under 100 square inches of wing area, and approximately a 24 " wingspan. With an 8% airfoil, the built up wing is less than 3/8" thick at the tip. Ready to fly weight is just under 9oz's.
I test flew this plane in a field adjacent to my apartment complex at 6am while on the way to the Little Rock Small Festival.
With a Cox TeeDee .020 spinning a little APC prop on 25% nitro, the little thing really moves. It is easily the smoothest/grooviest small plane I have ever flown.
(This little plane is also the basis for my upcoming 1/2A Unlimited pylon racer!!!!)
I hope y'all like it.
