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>. G |
RE: Winter Projects
Very Cool!!!!...you now officially have the most wood[:@]
I'm surprised the weights are so close! |

Looking very snazzy George, we should see those out at the field in a couple of days right. :) Matt |
RE: Winter Projects
Beautiful projects George! When did you start the building process?

RE: Winter Projects
Hi Stevie
I like design of your "Zeohyr or zephyr !" have you others pics ? Claude |
RE: Winter Projects
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 |
RE: Winter Projects
Hey, Stripes, I think you need more vertical fin area<G>!

RE: Winter Projects
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! |
RE: Winter Projects
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. I have 160 in mind for mine but others are looking at the standard 170. I like design of your "Zeohyr or zephyr !" have you others pics ? Claude Apologies, it is 'Zephyr'. Will take some more pics, Claude and post them here. |

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. M |
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..... Dave |

RE: Winter Projects
Hi Dave
I wasnt commenting on its accuracy I was commenting on its looks. To me a plane has to look right as well as fly right. So call it personnal preference but I just prefer the look and in particular the sleaker looking ront end of the Prototype Rapture. M |
