Hi guys,

Steve: here is a picture of my Selig 8036 test bird, which I built to look like a 30's racer. I think I put about 3/8" washout on a 8.5" chord, so that's a lot. It has never tip stalled, though I have pushed it to try. Also, slows right down and lands like a trainer. I would not hesitate to go with that.

Bob: good to hear from you! De Havilland Mosquito, not Comet. I reduced the taper, and lengthened the tail moment for more volume -- makes it look a little different. I have finished the nacelles, and last night I molded the canopy and cowls (See Tips and Techniques thread - 'Vacuum Forming ideas') How's your racer coming along?
