Lookin' nice 'n' shiny! Gotta be fast!

it is a known fact that speed increases with an airplanes shine factor. Still debating if i want to add speed holes.

Took a small break from building the "After-nooner" to fix up the Toni and get her ready for next season

Now that the Toni is fixed and ready for next season it was time to get back at it. Next job was to cut the ailerons... i think it turned out alright.

Simon let me know which servos to order and i should have them soon :)

Looks great, Greg! Very nice.

I ordered the TS1002 servos from Icarus. I believe they are the same as the Dymond D47 servo.

You wing looks great, is it glassed?

battlestu

Hi Ken.... yes; yes it is.

3/4oz cloth and used two coats of water based polyurethane (and a lot of sanding). I figure she'll be strong enough to withstand any prop strike from other nooners :)

Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.

Wow!  The field is still frozen solid and there's the fragrance of testosterone in the air.  Spring must be coming soon!!  ;D

This one too looks good!  I like the high aspect ratio wing to make the best of the 10% rule.  Im VERY interested to see how this approach works out against the standard Nooner airframe.  Im still on the fence about switching but early results from these two might just spark a change in that!  Nice work guys to keep us guessing! 
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?
