SACRILEGE!

what 'foil' did you use? Looks like a roll of plastic film.

Thanks for posting that letter, Mike. In reading that I feel that the original design intent would much better match what most folks would like to fly. I wonder if he or anyone would happen to have any pictures or sketches of that version: - longer, fixed gear - larger vertical stabilizers -...

Dusan, how about showing your setup? I'm considering a cnc foam cutter (and a lowrider cutter). I like your solution to the curved shapes. It actually seems so simple (why didn't I think of that....duh)...

Is there a commercially available tuned pipe made for these engines anymore?

Is it possibly tail heavy? It never stops wobbling around. I agreee there is chasing the oscillation, but I would think it would at some point settle a bit, but it just augers around the whole time like it's out of balance. The video had me clinching.

I still think an ME163 type with a tractor engine could work. Models fly great. Kind of like this quick sketch: Spar would have to move behind the pilot but it would still be pretty thick to work out.

Good thoughts guys. Thanks. I'll update when/if I build a larger model.

So, I printed out the HM293 single page plan. While on a conference call I cut out a simple foam board chuck glider. During the trimming/balancing phase, I had to decrease the rear wing incidence to be basically flat to get it to fly. I did NOT make the the front wing a free-wing. It flies...

To look at any pictures, I would think the tail looks nothing like a bonanza.

CFAir is gone, but I do have most of the plans for sharing FYI

do plans exist for theses Culvers? The Dart and the Cadet are too sweet. I recall the Cadet plans may be out there but never saw Dart plans.

Yahoo decided to quit hosting the Groups. CFAIR was lost, as were MANY others.
