Cool Tony... "Git 'er Dun"

Could you measure the root chord and the tip chord? And the length of each panel (down the center not along the LE or TE)?

What about the various colored covering... Does it all look like it's on top of white? Like on the rudder, does the red and yellow at the top look like it's applid on top of the white or is the yellow seamed with the white?

Just curious to see how easy a covering redesign might be...

Also the wings... are they built up or sheeted foam?

Judging by the pic, the Vision's body has the same outline (and probably most of the same parts ) as the DV. Even the rudder is the same. I notice the front of the hatch is built angled forward vs. vertical like the DV...


Mine'll be here Monday, but it isn't going to get any attention other than a thorough inspection til after the first of the year.

Oh... and those elevators... based on the videos there's no need to modify them in the least... but that is a personal prefernce...
