3D Fibertech Hyperlite Slick.....sort of build thread.

Wow, Terry, wow. Just wow. Like everyone else I'd love to know how you are able to warp the space-time continuum enough to complete a build of this type in a month. I really, really like the stock airframe design of this airplane. I also like your modifications; I assume the uni-directional carbon fiber strips laminated to the members are not stock. It's interesting to see a 40% sized airplane with 100cc power, and I can't wait to hear your impressions of the first flight. Amazing craftsmanship, per usual!

Exiting a knife edge spin while staying in knife edge......at about 30' up.

I'm glad those moves looked good...... Because they were not exactly planned LOL.

The nice fast throttle response of the ZDZ and a super light floaty plane is what saved my bacon

Very cool, we had three hyperlites at the harvest huck this past weekend and we got some pics. Only thing we should have done is a group hover with those but that never came together. I'll post some pics tonight.

Nice Terry !!!



In a few days I should be able to link some video of my Slick lined up with a 126 inch Carden 260 with an mvvs 190, and a 35% Pilot Edge with a Mintor 110 doing a vertical drag race .

My Slick won first run. The Edge won the second run.

Poor Trevor and his MVVS 190 didn't quite have the pull with the 3 blade he had on it LOL
