Description: Shaped foam, ready for layup. You can see the prototype above the foam... flew good as long as you keep the speed up, stalled reallllyyy easily due to a poorly built wing [yes I built it :) ]](http://static.rcgroups.net/forums/attachments/2/6/3/3/9/9/t4793953-149-thumb-2012-04-03_18-39-49_27.jpg?d=1334755010 "Name: 2012-04-03_18-39-49_27.jpg

Front view of final... yes I know the servos are outside the fuse.... it can easily be converted to be installed inside the fuse, which I will do if maiden goes well.
