Wow, now that's inviting!
Seems to have plenty of reflex near the roots. And the most outrageously shortened elevons I've seen. (Assume a brake parachute deploys from that beaut tail for landing approaches  )

In the 4th picture of post #122, detail of the balsa shear web, it seems the glass is oriented orthogonally. I hope I'm either not seeing this correctly or it is just a proto-glitch that will be corrected in production?
Beautiful plank btw ! |

Production?
Did somebody say 'production'? When? Where? How much? And where (or how) does the line form?

It looks fantastic, I can't wait to see it in the air. Props to Steven for a slick design, and to Jason / Bill for sticking through all the hurdles to get this little beauty production ready!

Pre orders will start after we have a few more hours in the air, we have a couple minor changes to incorperate into the production models.
Price will be 450$ The Duc is my baby, I just changed out most of the fasteners with stainless, and have a new set of michelin power pures, and aluminum wheels to put on it! |
