David,

I also sent a PM to Patternguy asking for a copy of his plans... twice, didn't get a response. I'm using the original plan published in Model Airplane News. Drew up the wing layout and rib patterns with Compufoil. Joined the wing halves this afternoon and glued on the wing tips too (have'nt finished carving them as yet). This will be a tail dragger - got a nice tempered alum main from TnT. Stabilizer is built, as is the rudder assembly (both are built up to save a little weight). Fuselage sides and all formers are cut. Will carve a balsa canopy. Looking good so far. EDP: I went with a 13oz Hayes fuel tank. Fits very nicely. Plan to finish with Coverite fabric and Klass Kote. Power by Webra Speed .61 (no pipe) - SPA legal. Will share some photos when I get around to taking some. EDP: thanks for doing this thread. It's certainly very helpful. David: couldn't help but notice that the wing layout is very much like the Tsunami (different airfoil, a little larger, but similar layout). I incorporated the Tsunami-style spar bracing in the Deception.
