Hi Derek,
VERY nice job you have there. And I see that you can build FAST!
At this pace, you'll have it ready for finish in a month...or less!

Love the take apart system. How much does it weigh? Is it a magnesium/aluminum alloy? Cost of that unit?

Keep those pictures coming!

Regards,
Claudio

[Derek Barry]

Thank you Claudio,

 It cost about $100, It is aluminum, and I am not sure how much it weighs I will weigh the other one before I put it in the other wing and get back to you.
 
 I really like your plane could you post a pic of the tail without the stab in? I would like to see how you did your platform for the stab. Your plane looks very clean!

[Claudio Chacon]

Thanks for your reply Derek.

If you check this links, you'll find the pictures you're looking for (the stab platform is in the first one, just scroll down):

When Claudio comments on construction everyone needs to pay attention.

Hey Derek,

Very nice. High quality as always.

[Derek Barry]

Thanks Pat,

How are you doing? Getting back into the building mode again? I am sure the weather up there is pretty nasty.

[Mike Ferguson]

Hey Derek,

Is the second plane going to be another Evolution, or something different?

[Derek Barry]

Mike,

  I think that I am going to make both of them Dreadnoughts. I may make the second one a Tempest I am not sure yet. I also have some Tom Morris hardware I may use for a third plane. Not really sure yet.

[Matt Colan]

Looks Great Derek, what motor you using???  And that is a neat way to mount your evolution on the wall.  For my personal tastes, I like the Tempest better than the Dreadnaught, looks more aggresive, but then again I don't exactly have a personal attachment to an airplane that was a huge success.

[Derek Barry]

Hey Matt,

 Probably use  PA 65 in both planes. I have a 75 just in case. My new Dreadnoughts will look a little different than the rest....a little more aggressive. New cowl and such.

Derek,
 looken good. A great craftsman for sure. Keep us updated.
And the weather here is 27 degrees and sunny, don't think I'll fly today.

Blessings and Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year.
