Goony, We took a design from a friend who designed it and modified and improved on a proven design. Yes, we do build our own planes. We have a friend who laser cuts the wing cores and pylon for us. Then we buy 1/4" aluminum plywood endcap that we consider the fuselage. That is where we mount the engine, servos(throttle, elevator) and the tail section to. We are as we speak taking pictures of the building process and will post them on the Georgiacombat.com website. Another very durable design that was just completed using alot of the same parts and design elements is available for review on the georgiacombat.com website is the "Georgia Gorilla". I know that you are in the UK and some of these items may be hard to come by at your local hardware store. We get most of our parts (building) from Home Depot and Lowe's. All of the electronics, engines and such we buy from towerhobbies.com. We cover our foam wings with colored packing tape.

The only reason I suggested you look at the "flying wing design" at texascombat.com is that you were initially looking for that. I will give you hint of advice if I may....those planes are from what I understand difficult to set up properly and don't withstand midair impacts very well.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help promote rc combat in your area. Maybe we can send you some stuff. At the present time we are preping up some gear because we have 3 meets in the next 4 weeks and we are repairing war wounds from the AMA Nationals.
