Good luck on motor choices. I also like to play with this site and compare thrust curves side by side.

I gotta hand it to you Layne, you certainly do have balls! Four of them is not exactly *normal*, but......
:rofl:
G.D.
P.S. Even if your L2 project isn't ready, you should come up to Red Glare to ridicule my L2 attempt!

Looks great. With all those parts, I can't wait to see it come together.
Nice looking parts! Nice game plan as well..I however would change the main deployment to 700'..But that is just me. .It does take a bit of time for a 78" chute to open properly. You don't want it 'popping' open..If you feel comfortable at 500', then go for it.
I am thinking this would be a fun rc glider...
To keep the build simple and traditional I had decided to use wood glue on the entire build. But when I tried to slide the coupler ring into place I realized it was a mistake to use wood glue. Yep, it seized about .25" from the target line. So my avbay coupler is catty-whompus.
It looks straight... I'd let it go. The switch band being a quarter-inch fore or aft isn't going to make a measurable difference in how she flies. However, I'd recommend using epoxy on the coupler insert, definitely...

After quick bath in acetone I moved on to the sled.
Waterless hand cleaner with pumice is the best answer to epoxy on your skin.

Perhaps the epoxy got everywhere because you're using laminating epoxy as an adhesive?
Using the right epoxy for the job is much more pleasant. When working with structural epoxy, I rarely ever need gloves to protect my skin because it's viscous enough to not run, and because I make sure than I use only exactly enough and no more.
It would be great if you were glassing everything...
What?
I have the wrong kind of epoxy???

No wonder it is so fluid.
Well, with the money invested, it will have to do.
