Hi Mike, Long time my Friend... That sounds like a great idea.. Yep The speeder is still looking pretty on the shelf there. I am confident that our Japaleno will fly but only time will tell, ha ha ha. Keep your eye on this thread maybe Sleep will play the video of him chasing my flying lawnmower down the field

take it easy

might have to miss the memphis probro this year and attend nall for my first time. i'd deffinately partake in the jalapeno mass hover. got a new rv recently and if gas is affordable, i mightjust make the drive from texas



good looking jalaplaneyo guys! I like the forward/center mounted prop idea!

Dude, that is one HOT pepper!! You have to let us know how the elevons work out in the airframe like that...I have been thinking about something similar..

Man..I really hate I can't go to Nall this year..I have a feeling the contest will be a BLAST!!

Sleep... you need to come over soon, so we can record some glide tests on this pepper


iflyos... This is the first time i decided to do an integral elevon setup so I will make sure we post the results.. we were not looking for crazy control so these should suffice for a flying pepper.
i was just hoping to get stable upright flight only, almost in a slight harrier to view the true profile of this crazy build.

thanks
John
