Thanks Tyler.

I had to put the wings on to see what she looks like. I like!!! Weight is right at 26lbs.

Amazing what 300+ squares does! Eric bought the original 70cc prototype and flew it some this Fall with a DLE120. Flew great except for harrier and CG. The new stock wings custom made for his fuse will take care of both of those.

Eric, your new neutral CG point should be 7.46 from LE at the fuse. You can pick it up with the canopy off through the plywood rails. Canopy is centered on the CG so it makes no difference.

Balance is a tad nose heavy at 7.5". I was able to remove the old "balast" that was needed before.

PLEASE NOTE: Eric's plane is a one-of-a-kind so CG is different from the current models. The number is correct for the kits, but his engine box area is designed differently for a DA70. Anyone that buy's a kit will get drawings for the wings, stabs and rudder cutouts as well as CG location.

Looks great BTW

Sorry, didn't mean to mislead anybody by posting that.

No Misleading here, but thanks Terry for clarifying, some individuals out there might have been confused! As soon as I can get J. Anderson's AJ Slick finished ( Terry's original, then flown by the Fahns), I will have a clear space for My VIPER ST continued. Man am I getting pumped!

Cannot wait to see three or more of these in the air at once!

We will need @Bipenut to make the trip over for Cornhuck too!!

 

[Fibertech]

That would be cool and I should have mine done too

 

[Terryscustom]

Looking forward to DesMoines Huck in Sept as well!!
