What total weight is it?
Do you have some templates you would be willing to sell?
Thanks,

George,
Yes I'll have it at SEFF, if it's still in one piece by then.
Find me when you get there and you can fly it. I'd like to get your thoughts on it.

It ended up at just over 9 lbs which is better than I expected. I had a goal of no more than 10 lbs. Span is 70" with 2360 sq" of wing area. That's a relatively light wing loading even if it did come in at 10 lbs. I knew that when I was doing the calculations for it, but one thing I wasn't sure about is how to compensate for the flat plate airfoil. I figured the lighter the better, so I set my goal to a weight I knew the motor would handle well, then did material calculations to come up with this size.
As I posted above I think it's a little too big. The roll rate is slower than I expected, and it just "feels" too light in the air.

F1race79,
I don't plan to make drawings of any type available. This plane is so similar to the Tensor that it just wouldn't be right to make drawings available.

Thanks,
Bill

Looks to be pink fanfold.

That thing looks like it rocks!

George man the neighbors would love us if we flew that thing in the front yard.
