Like the latest.....couple of suggestions
Rake rudder TE back, same angle as elevator.
Fillet radius wing to fuse.
Not sure about square fuse bottom between wing & stab
Sturdy box ..to meet international size limitations.
For me ...builders kit, no paint, covering, or assembly.

I second the rudder sweep.
In my opinion it should be a third elevator or at least have the same tip...Somewhat like this...

Second:
new design with Longer Nose, Lower canopy shape, Lowered tip of rudder.
Man I'm already thinking what I need to sell
it really looks nice

Can I throw and idea out there? I really like the way you asked us what we want then designed it. Can you do the same on the paint job. Maybe show us what your thinking when the time comes and let us all work with you

it looks so good it's needs a sweet scheme!!

Yea. Tailcone is my pet peeve.
Most are at 100 FSA so they have the thrust tube wallowing around in the gaping cone. I'd rather have it short and so my thrust tube becomes the cone.
Does that make any sense?

I'd prefer to have it longer so it (tailcone) can be cut to suit the thrust tube

I like all of the small changes that you have made. The 3D rotation is smokin hot. I can sit and watch it over and over while I dream of color schemes, gear and flaps down, and.....
I just hope I can afford one when the time comes.

Too bad the tailcone thrust tube on these planes are not made to custom fit in the plane.....or better yet be built into the fuselage. On most every plane I have built the rear thrust tube will be crooked....either too far down ....or up....or left or right. Seems there is a better solution for the tube especially for the higher powered planes..........just something about rolled up plastic for the tube at this state of 2011 EDF is outdated. Of course I understand that each fan is different in sizing but still................. Along those lines most all EDFs have very little hatches for installing the fan/thrust tube.....my ole hands just do not fit into a hatch built for a midget. Again the HAbu thrust tube did fit very well.

This is a very nice looking plane and I think I would purchase one. As for color scheme....I think something simple....once again look to the Habu.
