All excellent reply's so far. I appreciate the feedback.

At this point I have self published a book on rope making using antique rope machines and am approaching my 2000 book with zero complaints. I also manufacture custom epoxy domed pins, custom machine embroidery (shirts, jackets patches) and also imprint tiles and coffee mugs. I also operate 3 domains (websites) with another 30 in the works and offer full bleed color banners for shops and events.
I am no stranger to the manufacturing process and my customer service montra is "I strive to exceed my customers expectations, without you there would be no us"

As you can tell I have LOTS of time on my hands

I'm Semi-retired due to a disability and am really looking forward to pursuing this idea. I dont have pics yet as my shop isn't quite finished but I think I have a few stuffed in a box somewhere of a completed plane from years past. I'll try to dig it up.
I can say it's a .40 size with the concept being every surface including the fuse is a "lifting surface" This plane was conceived after reading an artical in a mag back in the 80's about a new concept in an airfoil called "the tadpole"

I basically designed an entire plane around this tadpole airfoil. I wanted to achieve just as much lift inverted as "verted" and fly a knife edge without much rudder. After about a dozen builds I think I achieved my goal.

We where pylon racing Byron Cap 21's one day and I noticed the input needed to hold a knife edge around the pole. This was in my memory when the concept arrived while reading the artical and it's been an opsession every since.

I havent touched a piece of balsa in more than 10 years so gearing up will take some time, that and my son just turned 12 (time to get him hooked) so our first venture will be a Goldberg Eagle II. This should get my blood boiling again

Please keep the ideas and inspiration coming in. I do appreciate it muchly.

Bill
