Title: SV-100 Horizon
Post by: RC Storick on September 25, 2007, 06:41:38 PM

Doug showed what he was doing no I will show you what I have been up to. I only got 1 pic before batteries died. Almost ready to join the wing to fuse.

61 inch W.S. 10.25 nose and 18.25 tail. Geo wing.

park....
Is that a sheeted geo wing? Or a foamy?
If a sheeted geo, why instead of silkspan?
Thanks
It looks cool!

It is a test airplane so its a foam wing. The difference in weight is only 1 ounce. The flaps are foam sheeted and should make up the difference. I wanted to build the first one rugged for grass flying in the start of the next season. The next one I build will be built up.

Robert,

I remember when you talked about building this model.  Is this a kit bashed plane from one of Randy's kits or did you design this one yourself using an SV wing.  I cant remember. 

I very curious as to how it will compare to your T-Bolts.  Keep us updated with some more photos as you have time.

Thanks

SV stands for the wing plotting system. It is not a copy of anything however it uses some numbers that are close to Randy's designs. It is a Geo-bolt airfoil swept back tips like the SV-22. It will look like a RS design but it is my own. Hope it works..
