Winter Projects
 

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>)

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>.

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. :)

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.

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!

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.

RE: Winter Projects
 

Here, does this look a little healthier to you? :D

RE: Winter Projects
 

Aha!

RE: Winter Projects
 

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

RE: Winter Projects
 

Now that looks nice.

RE: Winter Projects

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

why wait for the BM110 guy's!

RE: Winter Projects
 

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

RE: Winter Projects
 

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.....
