I do love the looks of the Sbachs though. I might get one for my winter project next fall.

By next fall, we will have the 30%, 40%, and the 48%, and probably a bigger one.

No , the 40% started out as a 35% but because of its lenght, the wingspan did not conform to the 10% rule for IMAC. So by extending the wingspan to 118" its now a 40%, but with a weight of 26 lbs , using a 100cc engine, this is no typo.
Also, you are paying for a 35% ,

The 48% will weigh about 38lbs,

I feel for you Roger, some of our best flying days are in the middle of winter. Are we going to see the constant speed prop?

Yes the constant speed prop is now at a point where we need to develop the carbon fiber blades which will be done a bit later in Pakistan once things with the Sbach tapers off, business first...

But most definitely its coming.
