Just uploaded this new plan to the site. This is actually quite an old design, just completed it. The swoopiness of this is something I like. The control surfaces have some variable shapes you can choose, and I gone for the parkjet type prop cutout so the fins provide some fore/aft stiffening across the 2 rods.

The new site is coming together, so please keep looking in, I hope it will make it easier to see the designs.

Fly and enjoy!

Hi All

Just uploaded a new plan to the site, this is moving into more complex builds using an A4 template for the foam. I've used a slightly different labelling system, basically line up the same letters to help with the build and orientation of the parts.

I think this one looks great, very sleek. I'm hoping that the license I used on the tailplane will pay off, you have to remember that these are a balance of form, proportions and function. I'm getting feedback now about the plans now, and there are several points to update, but the key one I think is the addition of the CG. I will try to include this where I can, but this is something I would work out on build normally, and I haven't had time to build every one of these yet, so please bear with me. I already have a long list of improvements, and I promise I'm working on them.

I hope you will like this one. Fly and enjoy!

Hi All

Just uploaded the pdf to the site for a new vtail design. The first build of this was a great flyer, very stable and 'soary'. In the next few weeks, I'll be starting a 'first builds' page with photos of the ones I've done up to now, and hopefully some flight details. Keep looking, the site is changing a lot now, a new format is coming to make the plans easier to scan through. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to look, and to the few who have contacted me with feedback, this has been invaluable in forming the direction of the new look site.

Fly and enjoy!
