Default Lancair IV Project

I just picked up the molds for the fuse the other day, boy am I stoked.

Here is the info Vinnie
Wingspan 81"
Wing Area 790 sq"
Weight 9-12lbs
Engine YS-120 and up

With a YS-120 the Lancair will do around 120mph
I have a gentleman south of me that is building one that is really tricked out and will be putting in a YS-140, we are hoping for 140-150mph. I also have another person putting in a Moki 1.8, can't wait to see how fast it will fly.

One thing to keep in mind is my Lancair is using a symmetrical airfoil for sport/aerobatic flying. The plane flys like a pattern ship, and it is also pretty fast. I am looking at implementing a different airfoil to make a good practice race plane, and then with a simple wing switch out you have a good aerobatic plane to mess around with out at the field.

I am hoping to have a website up in the next few weeks.

If you have any more questions let me know.
