Bluecor Zero
After the last airplane, I thought a remake with similar features and a low fix wing would be interesting. I downloaded a planform of a Zero off the web and this is what we ended up with.....
MMMMM It really zooms.
This airplane is very fun to fly. Push sideways on the stick and it gets up on a wing tip - pull back and up she goes. It does very nice loops. I have not put a geared motor on it yet, because it's too fun with this motor.
