Geo Juno
« on: September 21, 2006, 09:28:02 PM »
This is as close as I have come to an "Original" design.  I built it in '97 IIRC, and it still flies today, and will at huntersville in October!  It started life with an OS 40VF on pipe.  Switched to PA 51/piped after my return to "stunt" a few years ago, and now has a PA 61/piped in it.  I love the plane!  It's like an old pair of jeans, a *little* faded, but real comfortable!  Fortunately for it's sake, it didn't get very many flights for almost 5 years and the airframe is solid.  I have built SEVERAL planes in the mean time, but I always come back to this one. :)

It is a Super Saturn built from Bob's first production lost foam jig for this wing.  It has a Juno profile drawn over the Saturn with 1/2" added to the tail moment.  Wing tips, stab/elev. shape and fin/rudder are Juno.  Hope you like it!

I will take it!!!! ;D

Looks real Kewl Bill.

I do have a question:
I have seen a few planes now the "Geo" in the name. Geo Bolt, Jim Lynch has a two Geo's.

So what is the story behind Geo?

Thanks

The Thunderbolt uses a geo/bolt wing. The Geo stand for the geodesic designed wing that are in these models. Designed by Billy W.
