Hey Ken!  Eagles %^@??  Cowboys Z@@ZZZ??  All I can say is, I have cousins who are CRAZY for both of these teams and have been bugging the heck out of me to build a plane for their teams and my response is and has been .... "Let Them EARN It"!!  Well, I s'pose you can imagine the responses I've received .... and they're family  LL~ LL~ LL~!!

 H^^  Howdy y'all!  Well, it all due respect to a master, Mr. Bob Hunt, here's my replicated version of his design, the Genesis.  Because I goofed in replicating his design, I thought it would be appropriate to change the spelling to Genesys.  You see while building I accidentally lengthened the inboard and outboard wings by one full panel.  This project ended up with a span: 61.5 inches, dry weight: 2lb - 1.5oz, length: 41.25 inches, and will be powered with an old OS 35S stunt with a Master Airscrew 10x6 prop.  I sure hope it flies as well as the writeup say his did/does!!  H^^

Here's a photo of my newest Genesis. Just a bit different than the others.

Wow, that's really classy!  I like it.  Curious, according to some posts on facebook, I've read that some guys mention that you had a couple different sizes of the Genesis, is this correct?  The plan I have showed a 54" wingspan and a very narrow, 1-5/8" engine compartment and the only engine that would fit was my OS 35 or a Fox 35 (if one filed the tabs down a bit).  No way an ST or OS 46 would have fit without some serious butchering  ;D!

"Jerry Raimo
The Genesis came in multiple sizes. I think the largest was what Bob called the 46 size. I have the plans somewhere. I believe it was a 60 inch span and was targeted for the ST 46.."

Also there a fellow who made an awesome post regarding your design and I mentioned that I would share his post with you.  Here it is plus there's a photo of the plane but I couldn't capture it:

"Anders Hellsen
This is a Genesis MKII. the builder,to the left, is Ake Nyström. the model is built 1981 and flown at the Worlds in Oxelösund 1982. I, to the right, got the model as a gift 2 years ago. Last year it was, again, in the Worlds, in Poland, 41 ears old! a 37th place overall is good."

Man, this is great stuff to read!  Thanks so much.  I'll be sharing it with my flying buddy, Larry, who convinced me to build this one because he was and did build one for himself.  He loves it!  I took mine out for its test flight today and had another flying buddy, George, put it through its paces while I tried getting some video with my phone.  He really did a great job and said he liked the way it handled.  Thanks for a great design.  I had a ball building it, that's for sure!!
