Yes, you can design your own, if it's creative juices you want to appease.

I said creative, Jack, not ingenious!

i have one in mind... but i'm a little un-sure how check if the wing area meets the requirements

I have seen the Nooners fly up at Orangeville and they are fast enough for club racing, just keep your designed program, that way it will be successful.
If you learn to fly tight on the race course they will seem faster, its the same with E F1.
Someone should look at putting a v-tail on a Nooner, that will make it still a better flying plane and will fly very tight around the pylons, with the nose not dropping or digging in.

say someone was looking at doing that to their crashed nooner (not naming any names) ... would the v-tail be enough to turn the plane or should i they still install ailerons?

You would still need ailerons and just one servo for the elevators.

Anyone know if there are plans or kits around for the Kaplouie?

And did Rob Nelson come out with a design?

[Papa]

Look at the bottom of the link there is a .dxf plan available, he says.

Jack.

[sihinch]

Link doesn't work. I'm not that stupid Jack!

Everyone cover your eyes for Jack's anticipated response!

Todd was one of the guys who'd travel to our events, from Syracuse, for pylon racing "back in the day".  I haven't seen him since.  I could probably track him down if you like.

I'm going to try to find the plans for my Morphine.  That plane made the nooner's stand still

Hope you like this "hunger" you've created Jack/Robert/Frank!

Hunger for speed.

Hunger for technical excellence.

Hunger for a win!
