Al,

Wow, this thread's a blast from the past! To answer your questions......

1) The black and yellow bird in the first pic was my very first scratch build. I called it the "YellowJacket" based on the paint scheme. It's a BT-20 minimum diameter bird, and since my building skills at that age weren't the best, the variance in the fin tubes makes her spin like a drill on the way up.

I took a few minutes and drew up a PowerPoint file to build her off of. Here's a .jpg of it. PM me if you want the PP original.

2) The gold/balsa one in pic 2 is simply a collection of spare parts and fins. I added a 13mm motor mount, and then I gave it to my daughter. She's since hand-decorated it with craft paints and stickers, and christened it the "Rainbow Girl". It's flown several times on A10-3T's, and it just screams off the pad. Here's the thread with photos....

If you're still interested I can draw this one up as well.

Later,
EV
