Cactus Killer, My first 60" combat results

[dougmontgomery]

Proppyjon got me flying one of these ssc combat planes and I decided to cut my own.

60" forward swept wing
elevons
.15 OS.
23012 airfoil

It flew right out of hand launch and kept its speed pretty well. I got 1 cut and It had two midairs without much damage. I had to really fly it because my elevons were a little to big. I had them at 35%. I will be changing the airfoil and narrowing the tips.

Did you hear that? It was the sound of my heart breaking.
Friends don't let friends fly gas.

Looks pretty good how much does it weigh?

Hey Chris, Long time no hear of. This is a Gas!!!! Literally. I tried it and of course I am reinventing the wheel... 2.60 lbs. I am also currently making an electric version for my Nippy Black motor so I can practice this proto at our park, do you remember it still. I am changing to a different airfoil. Top secret stuff. yea right.
Chris-sure hope you come out when it cools off. E-mail me.
Doug-

I am going to go fly combat at California on aug. 20th.
