This has been sitting in the project box all summer. Finally got around to cutting the boat tail and dry fitting.

That looks cool.
Did you upgrade it to a 29mm mount ?

The boat tail tapers to BT60, so I've got options.
Yes, I am planning on 29mm.

It needs a lot of nose weight, so I need options with MORE THRRRUST!

Sounds like a good plan.
Would fly nice on a F52T or G78G

Yes. On a G80 if I recall correctly.
It took a lot of nose weight.

I finished it as a Hydra version of a Der Red Max. Let me see if I have a photo..,

They are archived, but I found the thread, with flight video link, on the Volde-forum.
