the glassing has started .all flight controls shaped and hinged .vert tail /rudder glassed /hinged ,and a nose carved.just about ready to bond the wings...kinda wishing i had made provisions to remove wings ...but for this alpha build the sole purpose is to prove the flight of the plane ...c/g control issues .inlet duct /fan performance ,and the air foil used .which i derived from hand drawn airfoils base on the success of the sky rays air foil ,it's a highly reflexed foil that i hope requires very little up trim to fly which will reduce a bunch of drag. if it proves out i will send copies of the air foil to Claus for his future design of a composit kit.
