Rog, Bill and all others, I mean no disrepect by my comments. After reading through them it sure seems dry and rather non supportive. I would rather be supportive. At least Bill is trying to do his own thing and not asking where to buy an off the shelf RTF simply to bypass the construction issues.
Creativity is a great thing and this plane certainly qualifies!

I should add that the model looks really good and racy fast in its bare bones state. Some would even use the term "sexy" I can hardly wait to see how it finishes up and by that I mean I wonder how the top of the plane will be treated. Will there be a bubble canopy or a turtledeck behind the cockpit area and even the shape of the verticle fin. These things lend lots of flavor and style to the already nice looking structure.

Best of all it does not seem to be over built. That counts for a lot in my book. Something else worth noting is that more than one of us feels that it may be inherently nose heavy! How many "new" designs offered up for approval can you say that about? So many I have seen look like they will need literally ounces of dead weight for ballast. Generally if one must add weight to the tail end, it usually isn't much.
