The only thing I do not know for sure is the weight difference between the plety and the inrunners if there is any. If somebody has the numbers I would appriciate it if you would let me know.

Later

Chip


Hope this help.

After working with Chip a bit this year, I can tell you one thing. There are very few people who can keep up with his work pace when he gets fired up! He wore me out on a few occasions. The amount of stuff that he and CA Models have done in the last month or so is amazing!

My Onus is on it's way! Can't wait to get it flying!

Thanks Bill and same to you. My time here is just about up but I am confident now that Marcelo has a good handle on what we all want and exspect our planes to be. I am heading back to the States for Christmas with the kids and my parents, and then finally off to Afghanistan for that much needed vacation. I have honestly never worked so hard for so long in my life.

I have attached a couple pics of Tonys new Onas, it came out really nice with the new wood fuse. Mike yours and Daves are right behind it.

Hey Ryan
Dave Snow and I will be getting them in real soon. I will post some pics and hopefully get progress reports on the building.
I'm getting an ARC and Dave the ARF. I believe Tony Frak has his. Mike

Tony's Onas is here minus the wings. Somehow they were separated in transit, but Fed Ex said they will be in Monday for sure. We we blown away at the quality of the fuse, it is one of the nicest I have ever seen. The glass work is incredible both inside and out. Tony worked on it a little yesterday and this afternoon and its about finished.

Here are some pics of my Onas. As Chip has said, the model looks great! The increase in quality of this model has to be seen. The fuselage is super stiff, light and has an extremely "flat" surface. I can't wait to get the wings and stabs and get this flying!

I now have templates for mounting a Neu motor in to the Onas using Chip's new motor mount. I'll see about posting a pdf file for them.

The more I look at this model the more I like it. If it flies as good as it looks it'll be great!

Here are the two motor mount templates. The rear one will give you the outside dimensions. Use them as you can.

I must say that is a very handsome model, liking the lines of the fuselage especially.

I saw the fuse today. Really nice. Very stiff and light. The workmanship was great and the finish was really top notch.

The rest of the model arrived today. The wings and stabs look great! Here's a few pics with them on the fuse.

Here are some pics of the control horns and ball bearing links that are included with the kit. Also, the carbon spinner that comes with it.

To say I am pleased so far is an understatement. This model looks great! Hope to fly it before the end of the week. I'll have weights and a flight report later.
