    A few hand cut kits. Usually if I want to build something I cut at least 3. Usually profile kits but it's all just for fun. For instance here's my and JAG's Diamond Dust that were from kits I cut. I originally cut 4 kits. It's just another way to enjoy this great hobby.

    Thanks for the positive comments guys. When I started this project I didn't know if anyone would be interested in an old design or not. Turns out there were a few. Overall I am really pleased with the airplane. I would change a few things next time around. If I ever build another I will...

    Tried to maiden this afternoon. It was 40 something overcast and wind was only 12mph so pretty nice for January. Maiden didn't happen. I got some range issue to sort out. I think a satellite rx will solve that but the Hitec 5085 throttle servo let the magic smoke out. I've never had an...

    That Vanessa Rig is so much simpler and can then be used on any airplane. and is accurate down to the 1/16th of an inch. After seeing one work, and seeing tha article that's how I'll do it on big airplanes that are hard to balance.

    Ready to maiden. Weight is just under 12lbs and cg is just aft of recommended range. Without buying and aluminum spinner not much else I can do. Two 2500 life packs in the nose. Not sure when I'll get a chance for maiden but I'm excited! :)

    I've been working on the Hots this week. Made up my pushrods tonight. 4-40 all thread 2" pieces, CF tubes, hysol epoxy, and brass tubing or cut off 22lr empty shells. Not much room in the fuse for everything that needs to go in here. Guess I'm used to working on more spacious stuff. Looks like...

    Slight change of plans. I found Syssa engines mount with 3 ears in a triangle fashion and would fit perfectly on the firewall. I then went to the Syssa website only to find those engines are made of gold! But..... don't worry ole Cappy found one. I was just going to use a trusty G26 but me...
