Very nice looking scheme. Just wanted to let you know I finally flew the Visa I purchased at the Nats. Still working on trim. I expect to be close tomorrow. So far no mix for knife-edge. Very solid feeling in the air. I believe it will fly very well in the wind. I have two weeks to get ready for the next contest in D2 and I believe it should be no problem with this airplane. Great design Chip!

Thank you very much I am glad you like it. It has been quite a while since I was able to put this kind of time and effort into pattern. Some of that was life in general, the rest was just not being focused in this direction. I am thoughly enjoying this part of the hobby now and have no intention of doing anything else for quite some time.
Unfortunately we occasionally (first time this year) have an individual that sends Marcelo a ton of emails, asks a ton of questions, orders a custom plane, and then doesn´t pay for it. Here are some pics of a beautifully built Visa (Different colors then normal all paint) that is now hanging here doing nothing because of this. If anyone has an impulse PM me and we can discuss the details. It is 100% ready to go tomorrow if need be.
I was still in the states when this deal took place after the nats so I was not involved, however I can tell all of you that things like this ruin it for everyone as far as having to prepay for the planes. I am sure he had a good reason, but CA is a small company that either has to be able to take peoples word for things or charge in advance. This was the case and the word didn´t pan out.
