Here is my Insight.
Scaled for a .46 with a 58" wingspan. It is built spad style using mostly Coroplast and Fan Fold Foam.

Well done. Very cool. Now you have to build a PentathaSpad!

I'm really glad that you like it. I figured most hard core pattern guys would frown on their plans getting made into a spad.
Making a spad pentahalon would be MUCH harder, but not impossible. The Insight with all of it's hard angles made it a very easy plane to spad. The canopy and the cowel on the pentathalon would be very difficult. Sometime in the future I might consider spadding a voodoo though.

Does anybody have information on a electric conversion on the Insight?

I never built an electric Insight... but I did do an electric pentathlon, there is a build thread out there on it.

In the [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9040604/anchors_9040604/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#9040604]thread[/link] I'm presenting a construction inspired by the insight. Thanks to the developer of the Insight for sharing the pictures of the construction.
