Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

Yes the 110 will see the light soon. Not as soon as I had hoped, but hey, I roll with the punches the best I can

The differences between the 2 and 3: night and day. The VF3 is a totally different airplane. If you want a 3, I would suggest building a 3. But if you are not planning to compete in FAI on a national level any time soon, the V2.2 is probably just as good of a choice (some would argue better).

The fuselage is taller on the 3, and more narrow and constant through the rear of the wing.

ALL of the VF3's flying surfaces are thicker and have thick, blunt trailing edges. The Vertical stab for instance is extremely thick and has a 3/8" trailing edge. The rudder is very powerful.

Some of the less dramatic changes are the belly pan and the construction, it's just more simplified.
