Do some measuring I bet you could come in under 10 percent based on what I have seen of other models.

10% is a pretty broad figure. At a 120" span, it gives you close to 12 inches of variability to be considered legal.

The Slick 360 looks like a better fit for a massaged-sequence plane. Hopefully someone can "Dalton'ize" this one for the masses

The Slick 360 is a winner waiting to happen. This has outstanding full-scale lines and proportions to make a model aircraft from.

I thought the only real difference between the Slick 540 and the Slick 360 was the motor.
NO?

NO?
No, the canopy is pushed way forward on the 360, I think to compesate for the lighter engine. It looks like a stretched precision model could have alot of side area and a smaller canopy (maybe less prone to cracking).

Andrew, can you post some pics of your new Slick 540? I had only seen one or two pics and looks absolutley huge...would 3D hobbyshop consider doing a scaled down version - maybe 118" wingspan?

Thanks,
