This is great timing as I am scratch building the Fancherixed Twister at the moment.
I have made a couple of personal changes in the Fuselage shape and also fitted my gear into the wings.
Motor for this will of course be the OS LA 46.

Okay!  The results are in!  The winner of the bestest-flying, goodest-looking profile stunt ship for LA-46 is the....

wait for it.....

TAA-DAA....

Imitation

The floor is now open for any demands for a recount or accusations of ballot-box stuffing.

So, how do I get from the root and tip rib drawings on the plans to the proper lofted ribs in proper language for a buddy of mine to laser-cut some ribs for me?

Get the plans for the TEOSAWKI ( The End Of Stunt As We Know It), and have a club night cutting kits, one group doing ribs, one tail feathers, one fuselage, 1 small parts. Bag them into kits and everyone starts from the same spot.

Good flying, easy building, easy to trim plane that an LA will do great in.

There have been TEOSAWKI plans files around. Perhaps even here in some old threads?
I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.

Forgot about the Forerunner, good looking great flying plane that Bob Hunt cuts cores for.

There are a few guys here in New Zealand flying Pizzaz with an LA46 up front. It’s a terrific flying plane. On occasion these have beaten big full fuse models.

I have a PDF of the plans. If interested send me a message and I can email.

Here are the Tiburon plans. 
I think Gordon VT had ribs laser cut by RSM.

Thank you

Just for grins, I super Fancherized mine.  As well as the std Fancher mods, I added one rib to each wing and an extra 1" on each side of the stab.  I also added a fiberglass arrow shaft to the top of the fuselage and the bottom and another one in the center of the stab.  It was lost in a fire but for the year it flew it was the best performing plane I owned.  At 52oz it flew like a PA. 

The extra wing area was to support an extra 10oz weight added by going electric.  If you are going IC you won't need it.

Scott,  Check you P.M.s for a possible solution to some of those questions.
