Title: Update on Swept Canard: Finally done!
Post by: minnesotamodeler on February 19, 2011, 05:27:16 PM
I finally found time to complete the beastie--pictures following:

First 3, complete plane. CG is on bellcrank bolt, about right according to my experience with the last one.

Next 2, adjustable LO guides.

Final several, my cutesy tank mount.

well, seeing as how another snowstorm is scheduled for tmw, 10"-15", with poossibility of yet more later in the week...methinks we're gonna have to wait quite a while for a test flight!

Great job Ray!  I look forward to hearing about the flight results.

10" to 15" ought to just about finish burying your snowman, yes?   LL~

Actually we had a week of above-avg., even above-freezing, temps that cut our snow pack down considerably...my snowman was showing only about 15" or so, about waist deep to him.  This storm may put it back up to his chin!
