Hi all..
So I have'nt really mentioned much about this one to the open forum. Sort of keeping the build to myself ( read that concentrating on getting it finished)
so there isnt too much information out there on this one.
This is my 2011 model which originally started out life last year as the Model I was going to fly in Open at the US Nats 2011. So obviously I finished it the way I would have normally done so. As it turned out I had more than enough time to build a new ( read that Newer.. ) model to compete with in July. So this one you see here has been designated my backup model.
I will have my official Nats model finished within the next 2 months. ( In final stages of paint prep with carbon Veil on already )
However finding time to finish an Ares, Raptor, US nats Classic model and Open Stunter has proved challenging ! )
The specs are
620 SQ
Wing on this one is close to the thundergazer with 1/2 " swept back hingeline
Flaps are identical as Dave's except with only 1/2 " Assymetry instead of 3/4
Tailplane is my own set of numbers
Trim tabs on both wings
Howard Rush boost tabs
Carbon Undercarts from Kaz Minato
Mostly is close to what Dave did but with just some small adjustments
Nose length is shorter ( 9 " )
Engine : Stalker .81
Weight : 62 oz
I also wanted to play around with Ink lines - Having more of a weathered effect that simple straight lines. And wanted more detail that what Windy has done in the past with air bush Shadowing. However he was my inspiration for that.
Again I used PPG Global systems for Clear.
