Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

Actually it's a bipe version of the Shinden....but sort of a cross between the Shinden and Black Magic as far as construction. There will be probably a couple different versions of it. One for full tilt builders, and one tamed down for mortals. It's not going to be a piece of cake, but doable.

Don't even ask about the time frame though. It's done whenever it's done, that means built, tested, trimmed, modified if necessary, and rebuilt. I know I will have one myself for next year, and there MAY be a couple others flying by next season. If everything goes smoothly we should have it ready by next spring, but no promises.

I will have a 110 sized VF3 by this fall. I'm working up the prototypes this month and should have it tested and kitted by October. I MIGHT even ARF this one, and possibly a 2 meter as well.

The Shinden is sort of on the backburner at Bryan's request. I'm going to keep plugging at it and try to get it ready by this fall, but it has been redesigned and updated so it's not really the same plane as the composite version. When it's ready, it'll be a real weapon, even more lethal than the current Shinden.

Then there's secret project X for next season.....LOL sorry no details on that one but if you've heard rumors, they may have some merit.
