I dunno -- does the world need another build thread?  A slow, interrupted build thread, because it's really flying (and crashing, and repairing) season?

Aerodynamics and size are Sig Skyray, with a sprinkling of Fright Streak in the trailing edge.  Aesthetics are biblical.  The fuse shouldn't be as heavy as it looks, because I'm planning on making it hollow.

And a whole lot of Bob Hunt's Genisis

That's the biblical part.   And it certainly explains why the August 1977 Flying Models is sitting next to my computer upstairs.

I haven't penciled landing gear in on the plans yet, partially because I'm trying to decide if I want to pay the penalty for trike gear, which I think will make it look better on the ground (and maybe land better on the short, rough grass I have in my regular field), or if I want to go with conventional gear which will be easier to install and lighter.

Wheel pants, I think, are out until I get a lot better at flying.

Ahh, decisions, decisions.
