Long Beach Fieldtrip

Sunday was the swap meet down here in Long Beach followed by a nice ride down to the harbor and then San Pedro. Sun filled day of riding.

Flugtag

So overall ended up taking 4th place out of 38, which isn't bad if I say so myself, consider we were up against million dollar companies like Microsoft and millionaire yacht owners, both of whom we beat. I build motorcycles not airplanes but after this might be considering a new line of work ha. Here's a couple pics of her on flight day. If you werent there you missed out.

I believe I can fly...

And made this to prove it, ha. Here she is completed as of yesterday but still missing her skin and costume, full aluminum chassis, 24' wingspan, 15' long, fall away/detachable wheel cart, 110lbs of over engineered soon to be short lived glory. Shell be launched off a 30 ft pier into Rainbow Harbor down in Long Beach at the Pike on Aug 21st. Be sure to check it out.

Flight control

This here is the newest project, 17" long by 23" wingspan. Her maiden flight will be Aug 21 Long Beach Harbor, Red Bull Flugtag. She'll be ready for test flights by the end of the week, should be interesting to say the least.
