It's called the Halfpipe from North County Flying Machines out of San Diego. Supposed to go like snot on the frontside. Haven't had a chance to fly it yet.

This week is Spring Break at work, I have to be here though. But they didn't say what I have to do[}:)]

So.....I covered that wing, drilled and tapped a bunch of motor mounts, cg'ed all my planes, built new tails as needed, assembled all of my fuel tanks that weren't assembled, new gears in stripped servos, new/repaired servo leads, etc.

The only sucky part is being at work and remembering where you left that one thing in the shop that you put in the place that you wouldn't forget so you could bring it.

Minor detail though.

Sean, can you post how the tail assembles to the plane?

What they do is take a triangularish piece of 4mil coro about 7 flutes wide by 4". You take the apropriate size carbon rod or tube and stuff it into the center coro flute after giving it a shot of 3m77 and letting it dry for 30min. The fin is just glued on top the carbon tube and secured with a piece of clear tape wrapped underneath.

Then you take doublesided tape on top of the coro rectangle and tape it to the bottom of the wing, then some more tape on that to make it swoopy.
