matchlessaero,

All I have right now are the plugs in semi-primed form for the fuse, and the wing needs to be re-done (I made a big mess on the first one). The biggest problem right now is that I am in the middle of packing to move into a new house (where I get a 300 sq foot shop all to myself...woo hoo!) I'de love to show off what I have right now, but it is going to take some imagination to envision it in final form.

It is being built to qualify for approval for AMA 422 racing, so I have kept as much of the scale shape as I can. I blew up 3-view drawings to the fuse length I want (33") and then stretched the wing planform out to cover the needed 400 sq" required.

I just had my hands on it last night as I rearranged some things to go into "fragile" storage so it's not burried. Give me a day and I'll take a couple of pictures with a sheeted foam core wing that was the first prototype (I'm now on my third before it has even flown once).

As far as your fuse plug is concerned that you mentioned is probably too poor to use, as long as it is symetrical, it would probably be a great first venture into mold making, and once you get a fuse out of the mold, you can then massage that one for a second generation plug. I think this is an easier way than trying to get a complex design perfect the very first time. It may take longer this way...but it gives a more instant gratification rush! And you don't have to worry about ruining that plug that took months (years) to shape!

Go ahead and give it a shot...what do you have to lose?
