Now for something different ...

Here is one of my latest, inspired by the Geobat (http://www.geobat.com). It is an 18" disk with an AUW of 6.7 oz. It is full house control with rudder mixed to the ailerons via the TX. It flies fast when pushed but can also do nice high-alpha slow flight. I still have to figure out though just how much aerobatics it can do.

I also haven't created a canopy yet primarily because I still don't know what I want it to look like.

Here it is from another angle. Notice the inner and outer ailerons.

And here it is masquerading as a wall ornament beside my Pushy Galore.

I forgot to add that power is currently an EDF50 motor with S1 gearing (3.5:1), GWS 7x3.5 prop, and 2 950mah LiPoly cells. I wonder how well it would perform on a direct drive Astroflight 010.

I forgot to add that, with the exception of a few pieces of foam (for wing ribs, ailerons, and rudder) and balsa (for equipment mounts), this flyer is made out entirely of carbon fiber and ripstop nylon.
