Sport Little something different.....

Going to add a few braces with some medium salsa in the tail and will be ready to go except for wings and canopy deck.

Medium salsa, medium balsa they both work for me!

I like salsa. Got a great recipe for some I make myself.

This is what happens when you don't hit the new posts button since yesterday morning, Terry designs and builds an airplane!

Hey somebody has to keep you on your toes! Unfortunately that's kind of the way I work I have it all figured out in my head and then it doesn't take me long to put it into CAD didn't make it come to life.

Added a few strategically placed sticks took the wings out of the bags and have the tiniest canopy deck known to man ready for assembly when I get time..... maybe a little bit tomorrow.

Now what in the world do I call this thing..... that is the question! Kind of has a tail of a decathlon, but looks a little bit like a little deuce coupe from the front.

It's an airplane!

Sorry, couldn't resist! [emoji16]

It is truly unreal how fast you can go from beginning design to prototype Terry. Simply incredible!

Terry isn't human and that's a fact.

I have always shy'ed away from foam wings cause I always worry about not getting them right.

Sorry, glazed over this one. It's easier than you think. Although doing vacuum bagging and resin seems to really make it simple once you have the setup, I will never build a "built up" wing EVER again. I can do foam faster, lighter, stronger and straighter than built up. Piece of cake once you have the tools required. I still thank @Fixed Wing for his persistent advice to get me to learn how to do foam cores. His advice really took my building to the next level in terms of success and satisfaction

Terry, you're a talented guy! Nice!

 

[jhelber08]

@jhelber08 you going to make it to H.OW.? Law and I decided to go.

I seriously contemplated going since I'm off of work during that time but I got too much going on to be able to make. I'm putting that event on my radar for next year though.

@emtp275 this is plane I was talking bout yesterday

back in the day Great Planes made their Trainer .40 and .60 (.25 too I think) with the semi symmetrical airfoil and guys would hot rod them with no dihedral and bigger engines. nice to see new designs that bring back that same type of fun, pass the box around, type of flying.
