Default Anyone got an "E3D"?

forgot that picture was still out there That was actually the original, scratch-built plane that I called the "E3D". It was scaled down a bit, from 64" to 48 " span, and "refined" through several prototypes, for the current kit. The kit looks very little like that original after all the changes. It does, however, fly much better, although differently. That plane was 64" span, 1152 squares, 70 inches long, and was 4.5 lbs ready to fly with an endoplasma and 10 cells. There is a video of it at www.squid-ink.com entitled "64 inch slowflyer". One day I'll get around to enlarging the E3D to that size and kitting a version at 64",.. but I have a much larger project in the works right now that I have to finish first.
