Thanks everyone for your kind words.

atvracer, man your right, the scheme does look a lot like the hitec logo. No hitec equipment in the plane though. After putting the scheme on the plane, I realized it's a lot like the Reebok shoe logo too.

Greg and Tom, I don't know at this time if I'll make kits or not. It will depend on how the plane flys and more importantly if I can produce kit components up to the standards we all desire. This fuselage was not to good, but I know what I did wrong (I hot box dried the fuselage). This caused some defects in the kevlar that had to be addressed in the finish stage. The fuse started heavy at 33oz, mainly because I got carried away with primer in the mold. I used way to much and sanded a lot off. The plane finished comes to 10 pounds 12oz. (good windy weather plane). This is with a solid 3.5" spinner back plate and the big heavy tru turn adapter, so some weight may be able to come off depending on CG.

The plane has some width and girth to it. Widest point is 7.5" at the leading edge of the wing. Total girth at the highest point of the fuse is 33" if I remember correctly.

I'm contemplating trying a glass/balsa/glass laminate in future layups. I'd like to get away from kevlar due cost and it's not the friendliest material to work with. Plan on trying this after contest season over.

Thanks again everyone!
