Catsup and Mustard

This plane is another refining step into my Blucor world. I wanted something with ailerons and more speed. It has a semi symmetrical airfoil. For now it has a fixed vertical stabilizor and a fully movable horizontal stabilators. I went for small and as light and smooth as I could. It is all blucor except for a little bit of pine and balsa for the motor stick and landing skid.

-- Flying --

I started off with the m100 gearbox with a 7X5 APC thin electric prop. I trimmed everthing up even on the ground with a little extra elevator and it flew fine on the first throw. On the first battery it did everything I wanted it to.

I switched to a 8X6 APC slowflyer prop for more speed/thrust. It is a great flyer, running on the 8 cell 700mah NIMH you can fly for 15 minutes. Aileron rolls and outside loops and more just as soon as I learn to do them. When I am ready I will add the rudder channel for more fun/trouble.....
