To the "kit bashers" of the Enforcer; I am currently constructing a F22 based on the Enforcer wing planform. Has anyone added tail feathers (extended elevator) to the...

RE: Inexpensive construction material-foam core board

Ya know, pictures are the greatest thing to hit the internet, and yours are very, very good.

RE: Flying Wing -- 76" wingspan -- Maiden Flight Today

That is fantastic! This sort-a-scale F7u glides like the lawn dart it resembles. But the design philosophy is different. It weighs in at 7.75 lbs. and is scary fast.
Not too many years ago a...

RE: Flying Wing -- 76" wingspan -- Maiden Flight Today

Hi Jeff,

You are flying my kind of bird - all (or at least mostly) wing and engines pointing the "wrong" way.

RE: Inexpensive construction material-foam core board

Hey Quicker,
Forgot to ask, tell me about the sign vinyl material you are using for covering. Is it self-adhesive? Does it stretch? Is it suitable for open areas? etc.
