My new Sneeker part II
« on: January 23, 2010, 05:33:45 PM »
Well it is done and ready for the first flight.  Walter Umland, you make really nice kits.  This plane really goes together easy, ya I know it's only a flying wing but it still was fun to build.  The covering is Polyspan, I get it from RSM Distribution, with three coats of Nitrate and two coats of Butyerate dope.  I finally settled on the Fox .36x and have included some pictures of it.  The tank was homemade and it is a uniflo.  Hope everything works and the wing flies like they did way back when.  Finally, Mr. Riley Wooten if you are out there thank you so much for so many happy flights on the Voodoo and hopefully many more on the Sneeker.  I have both and I fly both.

Looks great Andrew. With a 36X a real retro-time machine.  8)

If you really want it to honk, pull out that venturi insert and put it on pressure--crankcase pressure will work with that tank.  My old Fox Rocket will still break 100 on a combat wing.  Kinda hard to keep up with at my age but good for an adrenalin rush now and then.
