Hello Papaone, glad to give you a closer view of the landing gear plate. The plate is (2) 1/8 ply pieces with unidirectional carbon fiber laminated in between. The fuselage is reinforced with carbon tow underneath where the plate is glued in. The reinforcement boxing is 1/8" liteply.


Hey Steve, wish it could be done by Tulsa, but don't think that's possible. Hopefully it will fly by the first of July. Looking forward to your contest!!

Robert, don't know the total weight, but each wing panel currently at 9.5oz each stab panel 3oz. I'm hoping for wing panels to be 13 oz each ready to fly which is what the wings I'm flying now weigh.

Bob, Glad to hear your going to be to some contests this year, especially ours!!, looking forward to seeing you again. The pics were taken in my "clean room" where I keep my finished planes. The shop area is another story!!!!

Got to get back to work, thanks everyone!

Todd
