PSS project ongoing

[Bustergrunt]

Hi chaps,

I thought I’d post a pic of the project which in the process of development at ‘Fighteraces’….

80” inch span (foam veneer wing)

vac bagged fus with formers bonded in

likely to be marketed as a sloper but potential for retracts and electrics, one if our team is already talking about a contra rotating prop…it’s still a while off whilst test flights are undertaken and final tweaks to the design are made, but here’s a photo for tasters…with Phil Clark holding the prototype

Is it slightly telling that you have posted this in the slope soaring and dynamic soaring section rather than the PSS section if the forum? It's a beautiful model and it looks like it will go like a rocket but it's not a PSS model surely?

[Bustergrunt]

Well it’s not a ‘scale’ model as such but rather a representation of a Reno Racer style or the RR Accel (Phwoar) with stretched span etc

 

I didn’t put it in the PSS section just for the simple reason of potential wider exposure.

With one of our team talking about electrifying his, maybe I should have also posted it in the ‘Electric’ section too?

The initial thought is that it’s a ‘sloper’ first and foremost, hence it’s posting here.

But that's exactly my point...you've said in your last post that it isn't a PSS model, but the thread title calls it PSS. Slightly odd!

[Bustergrunt]

Okay, fine, whatever…I’n not going to split hairs with you over this. If I could change the thread title, I would.

if the admins/mods want to move this I’m cool with that.

have a nice day

IMO it's fine, I don't think it makes much difference.

Looks like a great project! I’ll be interested to see how it flies.  Good luck with the final development/tweaking 👍
