phil c:
Any measurements, areas. boom length, etc. i.e.- is it an exact scale up or did you make it a knock off?
Tom Luciano:
Hi Phil,
Funny you should ask! It's just a play with as if Larry built it in todays world. So, no its not scaled up as I thought the wing would be too thin. So, instead, I (eh et hm) borrowed your root and tip ribs. Span is 48" without tips which is 33% larger than Larry's. Stab reflects that and Booms were basically cut to get the balance right and a little TLAR was involved. I'll have to check my drawing on Stab area. Ill bring it up to Gill's meet in a couple of weeks!

PS bring bladder material!!!
Tom Luciano:
Maiden flight was a huge success. Besides a handle adjustment the first fly was uneventfull. No trimming is needed! Also, it didnt fold!! Tracks really well and has a great turn. Thanks to Al Ferraro and Jim Vigani for getting me in the air.
