Looks cool.. 36" wing would be good for .25 size stuff.... Just build it light... I made one sorta like that and it came out to 2 1/2 lbs. Flies great!!

i was building it just for fun but if some one likes it than i can get a few out there. I cant believe every body isnt laser cutting now. Man its pretty cheap. Just got the prices. this thing is gonna be fun. It should build in a weekend.
Right now it .25 but if the design works than i can do a bigger one. I was looking for somthing along the lines of a comp funfly meets the electric profiles that are coming out. Small, light wieght, and a hole lotta fun. you know.....$50 beater kit that you dont care if it ends up in the trash bag at the end of the day. Just need to find a really light wieght landing gear thats cheap. The protype will be hand launch of course.

foam??? Oh god no! LOL. The wing is built up. About 10 ribs. The fuse is half balsa and half foam. give me a min and i will dig up the web site. My be i should do the first one in clear so you can see the wing. The fuse is sheeted so you wont see much there.

Foam in the Fuse?? That sounds interesting....
I'm always looking to build a new plane
Right after I finish the 1800 projects in the garage...
If you don't mind me asking... What does he charge to cut a job like this? I've been working with Fun Aero for my Laser work and I'm very happy so far....

Well ive got about 10 mins on the kit so far.
Sorry i cant say how much i payed for this but i will say that i checked with a couple of co. to cut this and akm or laser service beat everybody by about 20 to 30%. Really nice guys.

Oh ya.... the fuse is on the bottom and it will have a shaped piece of foam on top and on bottom and will be sheeted with 1/16. i dont know if i will put lighten holes in the foam yet. i will prob leave it solid to get some wieghts.
hehe....just got my profile brother #...#157
