Since my big X-15 came out too heavy for the G-12 reloads, I still wanted to try to see if I could upscale something I had done for them. I decided my homage to the Interceptor would be the best candidate since it is long and skinny and the CG shift isn't as critical. I used a modified KF airfoil strip on the bottom to add stiffness and hide the spar. AUW ready to fly with a G-12 and battery is 23 ounces. Length is 72 inches and wingspan is 34"

It's set up for rail, launch straight up. I made a 29mm adapter to fit into the mount and so I can use pretty much any 5" long or so 29mm motor that weighs around 4.5 ounces or less.
I used whatever markings I had, trim monokote, vinyl letters, sharpie marker for panel lines, etc. Took about 3 hours to do the markings and about 20 hours for the build including radio install and drawing the plans.
Hope you like it.
