I ordered a Mick Reeves D.H. 112 Venom Fuselage in Sept. 2016 from England.

Very good service
Definitely a builder's fiberglass level of finish.
My plan is to convert this to a DeHavilland Swallow D.H. 108 --- Giant Scale !
I've mostly completed my wing drawings, cut out my wing ribs, and I'm nearly finished with the structural fuselage formers and wing mounting spars.
The structural design has taken me weeks of on and off work, the front and rear wing mounting spars, bulkheads, ducting, landing gear mounts, EDF mount, all had to be re-designed and re-calculated given the short coupling of the flying wing.
I did something similar two years ago and it was quite successful

There are a few improvements that I'm looking to incorporate into the the 1/6th scale Swallow
I've made the EDF mount adjustable so that it will accept 120mm, 110mm,105mm, and 100mm EDF units.
The landing gear geometry should be better.
A bit more twist has been add across the wingspan, hopefully, the elevons will be a bit more neutral.
My intention is to start with a Jetfan 100mm, or a Jetfan 110 or a Schuebeler DS-86, if the airplane's weight increases too much.
12s battery, 4500 watts, 13 to 17lbs. thrust, Castle Creations ESC controller.
I have Robart electric retracts that are rated for 12lbs. Hopefully, I can stay below that.
Keith Shaw, again, has made aspects of this project possible for me, and I can't thank him enough for his support, friendship and mentoring over the years.
Thanks again, Jim Young for plotting out the airfoils for this version of the DeHavilland Swallow
