Gary Vinten 1 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 It is very stable in strong winds as well . The wing is a foam core and balsa covered then sola filmed the decals were made on my printer after reading the artical on this website ?

Stephen Jones Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Looks good Gary , Did you cut you're owe wings or did you utilise ones you already Had ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Vinten 1 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi Stephen I cut my own wings and have done for a long time right back when i did control line combat witha PAW fitted 2.5 desil and 55ft lines and 75ft lines . As you can see from the photo i had to change the nose to let more air in as things were getting a little hot !!

Bob Cotsford Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 that's just plain mean looking! Can we assume it's not destined for gentle circuits and bumps? Now that's what I'd like to see as a free pull-out plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Miller Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thinking about that design. Deepen the fuselage and incorporate a speed model or team race type cowl but with an upright engine. Add a metal clank tank. WOW! That could be real fun!!!. Call it R/C Rat Racer or something. Pure adrenaline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Keene Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Very nice. What did you use/where did you get the aerofoil profile from? I've just made my own foam cutter and I'm eager to have a go at making my own foamie, but I'm a bit lost on what to use as an aerofoil profile.
