Have you guys seen this? If one of the companies is looking for a new design, someone did it for you...

Yes, I saw it.

Over a year ago.

I made it for Troy over on TRF.

From the looks of the carving wood blocks, why bother using a tube at all...

Well, there is a round booster but you're right. The "flying part" is mostly model airplane technique to build.

That's a neat and unique kit, Sandman! Wanna make (rather, 'kit') another one (or ten)?

I know how hard you're working on my UFO Invader decals, though. After that?

Sandman,

Has this design actually flown yet? (Your version, not the Boeing version... ) Looks very interesting. Sorta-kinda like the Hyper-X with a custom booster.

Actually, no it hasn't.

Mine was just to see if i could even make it...obviously I could.

I made a BT-80 version (mine is a BT-60) for Troy (AKPilot) on TRF.

I will try to get it in the air in the next few weeks along with the 47 other things I have to do.
