The Ed.

My friend and I wanted to build some flying wings, he got his built, but I didn't. A couple years pass and my friend REALLY REALLY REALLY wants my 132" Danny, so we do a deal and I got the Ed with a lot of other $tuff.
This is the Ed flying with the original fuse, I made the molds for the fuse using Hydro Cal 30:

Somehow the fuse was changed to the front part of what looks like a Windsong fuse, the fin is just stuck on, it's really Fugly so I have plans for a new fuse with an electric motor. First I want to see if it will fly as a rudder, elevator plane, my friend had it setup as a aileron, rudder, elevator plane. So far I've just about doubled the polyhedral by bending the aluminum wing rods from 5°to about 9°. Once I know it will fly I'll build a new fuse and recover the wing.

The black lines in the last picture is the original wing rod bend and the new amount of bend.
