This is what happens when you have to much stuff lying around the hanger. Used a flat bat and a flying wing to make a new B combat plane. came in at 3# 1 oz with the heavy Jett .30 on it. Wing was a leftover from the trip to Russia last year that I wanted to tame a little for local use. Should solve a lot of the issues I had with exposed gear and tanks and still fly pretty well. Looks kinda sinister as well...

[:-]Oooooo, I like! How hard was it to cut out the airfoil on the bat? That stuff is pretty thick. Say, don't throw it away in the trash can. Send it to me!

Very easy cut, the bat has a mold line to line up the wing cores with. Trace them on and cut the shape with a dremel. I used a cut off wheel for most of the cut and the straight router type bit for the front and rear radius cuts. All the reciever, battery pack and jett style tank all fit in the fuse so it should be more protected and streamlined than the post fuse planes I have been building for B combat. Can't wait to finish it up and go do some test flying. Im wondering if i can leave the tail stab fixed, and turn it with the elevons like the flying wing. Gonna have to experiment with it a bit but that would eliminate some more weight and build time as well. Im going to program a switch on my 9cap to set it up that way for testing and see what happens. One less servo saves $15 a plane and at least an ounce a plane.

2#14oz with the fx and a can...
