Yoyodyne Aerospace's R&D section developed this design
(1) with what was laying around,
(2) with no plans at all,
(3) completing one step before even considering the next,
(4) with all cutting done free hand,
(5) in less than 12 hours
(6) there is no #6
(7) because they could.
Dual 24mm MMT, haven't decided yet whether to make it glide or use chute recovery. Still needs fine tuning of materials joint and fillets, but the airframe is done.
The views in the collage are:
top bottom side from above the nose
nose view tail view
Not all R&D projects become kits. Two previous projects will become kits, right about today. Check with Rebar at Southern Thunder 2005, or after he gets back, to see the kits. This one, maybe. We'll see after flight testing.
