My family got me an rx and servos for xmas and I hate to see them just sitting there, so when I got home from Seattle today, I sketched out another on my list, a flyable RC RG hybrid styled after the X-2 and Eddie Braun versions of the skycycle. It came out pretty light, 9.4 oz rtf with a 28.25" length, 2.6" diameter, 20" wingspan. Of course the wings are larger so it will fly, and the wing goes further forward so I'll have to scale down the name on the side to fit the remaining forward portion of the fuselage. I glued a small conical cone onto the PNC-80BB to create the crush cone on the model, then proceeded to cut and fit everything together. Did some indoor glide/CG verification and Finished the decals except for the lettering and gold stars. The color scheme is a mashup between the Evel Spirit and X-2, I'll put Evel Knievel on one side and Evel Spirit on the other. For the pilot, I only found a good left/right view of Evel's Wembley helmet so I shrunk a printout, glued it to some .03 styrene and covered it in clear packing tape. Got in three test flights, flies very nice, decent glide. Plans are at
