Look on the bright side... you didn't glue the balsa to the back side of the motor mounts yet! <=

Not as I published it, but I copied the paint scheme, before anyone gets up in arms.

It is a Byron Barker a.k.a. C. F. Slattery OS Max 40 fp retimed and hemi-ed for stunt with a 11-4 prop. I would suggest an APC 12 X 4 Sport cut to 11 inches.

Uhhh, Allen .... 4 pitch prop... mild timed stunt motor.... Combat plane.... ??? Lets talk Fox CS with an 8x8 , case pressure with Blast fuel j1 j1 Wheee!!!!

That's what I flew at the 69' Nats at Willow Grove. Mine was powered by a Fox Blackhead Combat Special. Still have both the plane & the engine.
Great job!

Even thou I prefered the Sneeker, I seemed to end up with the Demon. I never predrilled the engine mount holes. I use an extra long drill bit for the holes. I used the ST G21 35.

Say, James, that's not a stock Demon, is it...longer tail booms. Did it help it turn? Mine kinda slid around hard corners.

No it isnt stock, it also has a longer wing span, looks like it would be a real killer and fast!!

Wellll.... Todd did 'fix' a couple of things. Longer booms, and smoothed out the airfoil. Still running the hard tank with backplate pressure... using a restrictor to keep under 75 for speed limit combat. Lots o fun j1

Did you find it hard to build?

I can't see it in the picture, but if you haven't done it, I would
drill to 1/4" holes through the engine mounts and balsa crutch and epoxy in some 1/4 " dowels. I also usually cover the engine pod out to an 1" or so with fiberglass cloth for strength. It might sound a little over board, but I still have a Voodoo I built on the carrier in Viet Nam and it's still strong and no cracks. I run mine with a reworked G21-35, 9-7 Rev-up, pacifier tank and about 25% Nitro. I use to use 40% Nitro when I flew competition.
Have fun and practice turning around real fast or doing a lot of maneuvers while standing still.
Have Fun and Merry Christmas. f~ f~ j1

Hi larry
No it went together very easy and dead straight!

That's one strength of the Demon...with that diamond airfoil lying flat on the table it's really hard to build a warp into it! We could (and did) build a fleet of 'em in a week, betw'n contests.

Yes,
I was looking for a Classic legal ship to carry easily in the car and fly Classic and Expert in rough weather. So the reason for the stunt tuned .40 and the 11 X 4 prop.

The voodoo used balsa between the engine bearers, the sneeker and demon used "hard" wood there. I never doweled the sneeker or demon and never had the area break. Everything else broke, not that.
