RCV 120. with a 3 blade 16X7-13. Have not flow it with the 3 blade yet. Plan to try it out on the same day with the 109 flight.

The VQ Hurricane .60 (apox 64"span) size is very impressive for what it is. Good shape on the fuse, good cowl and spinner (same as B Taylor cowl and spinner) I would rate it good enough to own, I guess. The covering is again self adhesive type shelf paper. Entire wing is sheeted balsa. Some real Solartex would be nice on the fabric sections.

The down side is the ply wood is the cheap stuff like the Home Depot Luan door skin stuff. It appears the RCV 120 will find every weak spot on an air frame, it has a bit of a vibration.

The VQ is an experiment to configure a nice 3 blade system to ultimately put in an all composite 61" span 109F I have. Not nearly finished unfortunately.
