This could easily be my favorite build thread of all time. Favorite plane + interesting setup. Looking forward to it!

I am still waiting for the Laser plans, should be this week. In the mean time, I have made the foam cutting bow, but not satisfied with the wire I am using and ordered some nichrome wire. Here are some of the features for this airplane. Its a 98" wingspan 34% from Jack Strickland. boost tabs on all control surfaces failsafe high power electronic switches by Forgues Research Fiber Optic servo extensions by Forgues Research Power board by Forgues Research Wren 44 turbo prop engine on loan from Hayes Hutchins The rest will come as the project goes forward.

Roger, if you get bored waiting for the plane to come together, you could always just build a turboprop lawnmower.
