Awesome!

I manage to warp my horizontal stab yesterday while adding carbon tow to it!

Greg you are doing fine, just tell everyone that you built a F 1 Toni, so this little plane will be a easy build.
I wouldn't put anymore pictures of your build on, keep the secrets to yourself, just remember you are pylon racing, you don't tell anyone a thing!!!
Go Fast Turn Left, Kick A$$

no worries ... I'd encourage others to build there own; heck I'll even share the link to the fuse plans:

as for the wing they need to do some homework

doh... i was worried about that so i put some cross gain caps on it (but still need to add the carbon rod)

Well I'm not brave enough to be an ice pilot today; so i got some building done instead. I'll start shaping the fuselage tomorrow

Lookin' good, Greg!

battlestu · January 06, 2014, 08:29:43 PM

doh no balsa sheeting for the wings so I'll continue round off the nose some more.

Also made some hatches.

battlestu · January 16, 2014, 11:54:09 PM

Sheeting done on the wings and it looks good for my first try. Still have some sanding to do on the wings before i can start fiber-glassing but she's slowly coming along.

BTW sorry no beer bottles ...so i used an epoxy glue bottle instead.

Dang! I gotta get a move on. Looks like your going to finish yours soon Greg.

Looks great - I'm so proud of our little venture.

What do you think - joint maiden?

piker · January 17, 2014, 05:22:50 PM

Yes! Looks very nice. You guys are making me want to get going on MY racer.

battlestu · January 17, 2014, 09:07:39 PM

Thanks guys... Having fun with this build

These two models are looking fast enough to make me reconsider my secret decision I haven't made yet on what I'm going to race next season.

sihinch · February 03, 2014, 07:39:15 PM

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

Is that smoke coming out of the power bar?!! I can almost hear it screaming!

no worries I'd be lucky to have two or three things running at the same time. In fact i need more outlets to power all the stuff i need to build.
