Q

Thank you for the interest in my project.

She's done and has about 8 flights in. I blew up a copy of a plan from an old Model Builder of a '70s ultralite called the Desert Duster. I kept true to the plan except found that I needed to add a center spar to strengthen the wing.

It came in at 36" wing span and 7oz RTF. I'm using a GWS IPS-2 that swings a 8x4.3 prop. Power comes from a 300-mah NiMh pack. I forgot to add that she also has pull-pull controls to the rudder and FS.

She was a challenge to build and balance (still working on that) but flies great. Take off is straight (into the wind) and climbout is steeper than my Slow Stick. The battery gives 15 minutes on a fresh charge.

Here is a pix of her in flight.
