Default pusher V tail project

Here is my latest on my speed project.
This is my first attempt with foam wings and foam cutting.

Default RE: pusher V tail project

here are some shots of my engine. trusty 46 fx that i modified by increasing the port timing, crank timing, and boring the carb out to .375". Made the header from 5/8 thin wall tubing. The tuned pipe will be in the fuselage. I did a quick test run yesterday and got 13,400 on a 9x9 apc, 10% nitro, a crappy tune, and open header with rubber hose attached to the end (to send exhaust outside the shed, can see in the pic.)

What program are you using? Are you making molds? What are the booms going to be constructed of? Fiberglass?? Looks good, foam cutting is a sinch once you get started!

I am using autocad. I plan to lay up the fiberglass over foam for the fuselage, and have not decided how to make the booms yet. Maybe built up?? We'll see.
