Question:

Since I'm doing it now, would you guys be interested in the steps (with pics) on glassing and finishing a wood plane? It's really easy. I'd be happy to show you if you're interested.

Also, I am seriously considering re-releasing the V2 as a V2.2 version. The only real difference is in the rudder, belly and tail block. Also perhaps making aliggnment tabs and some other small things to make life easier for you. I'm experimenting with a few wings, so I may have new wing cores as well (with a slightly thicker cross section and thicker TE). If I do, I'd be happy to make the cores and drawings available to all who have already purchased a kit for a really reasonable price (just about cost really). it's not a huge deal, it just reduces the mix a little and makes a fantastic plane even better still.

So even if it's already built, the mod would be a piece of cake. I'm actually doing it to the plane I'm currently flying, and we've already done it to Dean's plane (it's twin).

But, I want to test it first to make sure the difference is even worth the trouble. Heck, I think most places do a change this small and release the plane under a new name (Sequel-Prohpecy comes to mind). For what it's worth, we have a few V2s in stock now that the crush has leveled off.

If you're waiting on the under development "X" plane, fair warning: It will probably be the Nats before it's available if all goes smoothly. Trust me, nothing ever goes smoothly This plane will not be released until it's the best plane money can buy at any price, in any form.

Now for another hypothetical question: would anybody be interested in the V2.2 if it was available as an ARF of ridiculously good quality? I mean like nothing you've ever seen in a 2 meter pattern plane before....

Just thinking and planning ahead,
