And.... they're gone! John York spoke for them, via Andy Runte.

Glad they'll be put to good use!

I've had 4 wing core sets for Limited or Open B cut by Dr. Evil sitting around in my basement for over 5 years. These have EPP leading edges for extra durability!

I have fiberglass rods (4 for 2 wings), and pre-cut aileron wood for 3 wings.

You pay shipping.

With all that Gnat building material, I think you have a new nickname, Bob:

GnatMan!

...who expects to see this logo on all your Gnat's from now on!

I had to resurrect this ancient thread, because the new speed record, 7 years later, is 505 mph . Yep...that's an unpowered RC plane!

Is breaking the sound barrier coming in the next 7 years?

The glue on most bi-directional tape is great. But after a few cuts, the glue starts sticking to the scissors blades. And after a few more, you've got to get out the acetone and clean it. I accompanied my wife a few weeks ago on some shopping errands, and found myself killing time at JoAnn Fabrics w...

Oops... that was Larry Blevins!

... back to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress.

Great work William. That's part of what hooked me on combat is the people that were always willing to jump in and help when you need it. Sounds like a good contest. Hey Bruce --- I was looking forward to meeting you at the Midwest Slope Challenge and talk some Wisconsin vs. Texas combat smack. You ...

I had a great time, Will! Fun flying, beautiful weather, and good ol' Green Bay hospitality!

Please reserve all of the same for October.

Funny. This brings to mind the phrase "What goes around, comes around". :wink: I know for a fact that Jim's original plans were based on Dave West's powered combat SPADS. http://westaero.wingedshadow.com/#MiG-7%20Plans Of course, Jim adapeted those basics to a whole list of other fighters! -= Dave

I'm not getting the milk jug deal at all. Maybe I'm tired.

Yeah, man --- fun event. Thank's Will for organizing. This was my first time to get to go to Green Bay for Will's event, but it won't be my last. The Gnat combat was a blast -- it was a little distracting though, watching Will's single-ply coro wing flex like a sailplane on a high speed bank. My fir...

Come on...only 4 people registered and the event is less than 3 weeks away!

Is everyone afraid to challenge Will on his home court?? I think we can take advantage of his over-confidence!

Nice!

Is that Leon or Keith in the background 'using the facilities'?

I think you've misinterpreted the Meaning of 'smack talk', Bob!

Maiden flight today, SSC Evader. Weather: 85 degrees, wind 10-15 from the south. Plane: Evader SSC, new Magnum 15 (broken in), Mike Fredricks wing from my phencepost. I never flew a flying stab plane before, so I was a little nervous about too much throw on the H-stab. I set up the dual rates with a...
