Foamy Update !!!!

Finally got time this morning to test fly the Black Magic Foamy production design with the SFGs and larger ailerons. the plane RTF ended up at 14.5 oz.

The flights where in gusty winds of 10mph+ and I am very happy to report that the flight test went really well. The current version (V3) just flies way better, knifes with almost no rudder, does like 6 foot diameter knife edge loops, easier for me to do rolling circles and harriers, even in the gusting winds, very stable, and between gusts hovers even easier. I am locking down the final design and now focusing on the graphic packages, website and building instructions etc.

I now have everything I need to ship kits, I just picked got in some really nice laser cut firewalls/motor mounts (thanks to Mike's laser cutter), laser control horns, carbon, cases of 6mm foam, ship boxes and bags. etc etc. I am doing my best to finish the Black Magic Foamy website and shipping the kits I have pre-ordered. Kit's should be ready to go out very soon. I hope to cut all the pre-ordered kits this weekend.

Between my regular job and the other airplane projects I have on hand, this side project has taken a while to develop, I just want to make sure the foamy lives up to the lineage of it's big brother. I think it has and I can't wait to see the plane fly in the hands of a really good 3d pilot.

cheers all,

Hope your having a great thanksgiving!
