Here's a PDF of the instructions translated by Bob Wilcox.

I would pay a little extra attention to fin fastening, and the rudders do not need to be as large (in chord and length) as they are drawn here. This can be a source of flutter in the wrong place, wrong time, etc. been there...

Anytime!

Also feel free to send pics or questions about the building, setup and flying characteristics of this bird.

Still have two modified versions of the HS and like them very much.

I find my self in need of a Hotspot clear canopy. I purchased two from Carlos in Spain the last time. I would prefer to buy them from somebody in or near the US but will certainly do business with him again of need be.

Cant believe that I took this picture almost 10 years ago!

Hello, Erbroens
Thank you for the information.

That looks very cool... Nice job!

I use to think it was valuable to make the top and bottom surfaces visibly different, but on this jet the fins are very distinctive for following its orientation in the air.

Hi Zack, I would cover with 25gr/m2 glass fiber , with 160N you not will have problem, but you will need 3L kero, sure !!!
The tank no require of modification, only change the way of fit, diferent to Cola bottle.
Regards from Spain,
Carlos.
