Posted this in open before I woke up and decided to check the racing forum - duh.

Well it's cold, dark and windy in Albuquerque when I get off work these days. Time to start another hotel room building project. It's a Super Fly Super Slow racer, gotta get in on some of this high desert racing action. 
All the balsa is from the Bargain Bin at CLC. I'm trying to build it for less than $25, gonna recycle a bunch of saved parts, control system, hardware, tank, gear, etc. Rattle can and film covering. Trustee OS .25 FP from my SkyRingStreak beater will do the locomoting.

Test fitting parts, and marking ribs for notching spar slots. more pics in a few days.

Doc, I always suspected you used dope!

Bill,
That's the spirit!
Looks good so far. The designer, Dave Braun, says that a little glass on the nose doesn't hurt, although you may not need it if you elect to go "Foxless."

PS-I built a Brodak Stop Sign kit on the way home from the Nats a couple of years ago. Bought the kit at a hobby store that actually had a freeway sign somewhere in Missouri. Since I had to lug all the repair stuff along for a week of racing, I realized that I had mostly everything I needed to build a kit plane right there with me. If I had brought a building board, I could have even built a serious plane. As it was, I had to finish each night to a degree that I could lift off the motel room table and lay gently onto the dashboard for the next 500 miles....  Note that if you roll down the windows, you can easily spread dope fumes across all of America--and keep the concentration level in the truck breatheable. A caution: do not under any circumstances exceed the speed limit and get pulled over by the cops!
