Re: COMING SOON!! 172" hybrid profile...
Ok. Here are a few sneek peeks of the wing cores that were cut today. Hope to have them to Johnn Light by Sunday. Then I'll post pics standing next to them to get a good idea of the size. These pics are without the aileron, BTW The aileron is 10" at the root and 6" at the tip. OOOOOOOOOOOOOh YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Spider Woman Graphics is my wife's vinyl cutting company. She also does routed wood signs, web hosting, and web design. www.sw-graphics.com Needless to say I get cool graphics for my planes. She does a lot of custom work.
Just finished the ailerons.. They could be wings themselves.. can't wait to fly this puppy.. Attached is another pic of the wing, with aileron.. the stabs are leaning against it. Back to more foam cutting and kit routing. Don www.eurekaaircraft.com |

Re: COMING SOON!! 172" hybrid profile...
Sorry to keep you all waiting I've been on Baby watch for the last 2 weeks and my wife gave birth to our 3rd baby girl on Jan 31st at 7:30 AM. There doing great!!!
We had a slight delay on the wing cores. However John will be sheeting the stab on monday and fitting the vertical fin and massive rudder. I'll be posting more pics on tuesday and wednesday of this week. And also those pics I promised of standing next to the wing panel. Lateron ,, Jared Sisk

Re: COMING SOON!! 172" hybrid profile...
Ok. The wing cores have not quite made it yet. But we do have the stab and vertical fin. John sheeted and rough cut the stab "notice the carbon tow" The control surfaces on this are going to be MASSIVE. We also held the Vertical Fin in place to get and idea of what it would like. I'll also include a pic of the finished wing panels for BZs 50% Cap 580. The Hybrid wings are quite abit BIGGER than these
 I will post a pic of them as soon a s they arrive. This thread should be kickin again. Later on Jared.

Re: COMING SOON!! 172" hybrid profile...
Don't ask,,,, That is a long story,, due to a little confusion between John and the Wingcutter. That is why we are still waiting on the wing cores..... The new cores will be all one piece. and the ailerons will be cut off the wing after sheeting. A little confusion between my builder and my supplier cost me $$$$$$$$$ how the he_ _ does that work??? Now I'm confused???? Th th this kinda suuuuuuks. I'm sure I'll forget about these little issues when I'm flying this beast.!!!! Later, Jared
