Here are my winter projects...The fuse's are just about ready to glass.


I'm building a Black Magic V3 and a Pentathlon (vintage not evo<G&gt

The BM weighs 1069 grams and the Pentathlon weighs 1029 (but add another 33 for the ventral fin and straps) Still a little more sanding to do before I put the glass on...but I'm getting excited...just thought I'd share<G>.

Very Cool!!!!...you now officially have the most wood[:@]

I'm surprised the weights are so close!

Looking great George!

NICE !

George, you were not supposed to let the cat out of the bag so soon, [sm=wink_smile.gif] hehe

Looking very snazzy George, we should see those out at the field in a couple of days right.



Matt

Beautiful projects George! When did you start the building process?

Here's one of the projects I'm working on at the moment, the 'Zeohyr'. Moved on a bit since this photo was taken, ready forpaint now.

Hi Stevie

Claude

Greg,

I started the V3 last August and got it ready to finish in the early fall, then I started the Pentathlon a little before Thanksgiving. I've been going slow on them because I'm in no hurry. I've been playing with some "non-traditional" power sources for these we'll see.

G

Hey, Stripes, I think you need more vertical fin area<G>!

Nice one Steve,

if it comes out as good as the Elation and Rapture I'm sure it will be a winner. What motiviation is it destined for, 170cdi ?

Regards,

Andy.

PS: see you on the rounds this season eh, great to see you entering comp's again, about time!

Nice one Steve,

I have 160 in mind for mine but others are looking at the standard 170.

Apologies, it is 'Zephyr'. Will take some more pics, Claude and post them here.

Here, does this look a little healthier to you?

Aha!

Just to show what else I have been working on, i.e. the production prototype Rapture 110.

Now that looks nice.

Hi

I found web site of this plane Zephyr. I like drawing.

Wow... A naked Element! Where can one get hold of one of those...?

Sorry, you can only get them as an ARF now!

So..............................................

why wait for the BM110 guy's!

Hi
I prefered the lines of the prototype Rapture over the production model. Much much nicer looking bird.

M

Mike,
More to the point, that production Rapture 110 has a cowling fixed to the fuz (not removable like OXai's stuff) and propably provision for a nose ring....That should make it a much more accurate proposition than the competitors in the air.....
