Hi John,
          That looks really nice, is it available in kit form?
John.

JohnPearson:
Hi John

This is one of the prototypes designed by Fred,that Richard, myself and Fred will be test flying soon. Not sure if this version will be available as a kit (all wood), that will depend on flight performance, if it is to be added to the Islandmodel's portfolio of short kits.

rasemote:
very nice
 :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Fred:
And back!

That thing is really looking good John!  :clap:  :clap:
Can't wait to see how that fly!
Mine should be finished this week hopefully.

CofG need to be determined in more details after the first flight, but in theory, CG is right at the front of the wing joiner. (but you have a full flying tail, so you have lots to play with  :D )

JohnPearson:
thanks Fred

I will use the cofg as indicated and see how she performs off the slope. I had a little touble with the wings when I put the carbon rods in and used the rubber bands to hold all together, even with  strong rubber bands, the front of the wings would move out, therefore I added a small carbon rod across the wing slightly behind the leading edge, this stopped the wings parting at the front, however if we moved the hooks forward in front of the first carbon spar, this would prevent the front of the wings parting, therefore, no need to add the extra cardon rod at the front.

I will take some photos Fred, to show you what I have done tonight.
