I'm just lucky to have a plotter at work and a boss that does not mind if I use it for a little fun

Not to sound demanding or, science forbid, ungrateful, but I got the joyous impression that we would see the build video + plans this week. I have all the understanding in the world if you haven't found the time to do it, but if you have it in your production pipe, would you care to share when we could hopefully expect to see it? Really looking forward to it! Thanks.
50% ripslinger 20inch wingspan
alright guys, heres some pictures of my almost finished 50% scale rip slinger. just got to add motor and control horns and it will be ready for a test flight
no power pod on this one as i used one servo for the ailerons, so its in the way for a power pod
going to be using a 10gram 2000kv motor on 3s lipo. hoping for a good speed 45-50mph
hoping for a all up weight of 100 grams there or about
will video maiden and upload once finished and weather permitting. love the looks of this model. it comes alive with the paint job and even the missis said i have to build another as she wants this one.

depron is really light weight. a full sheet of 3mm 700mmx1000mm weight less than a 100grams and you could make 3 of these ripslingers out of a sheet. And you need to remember that this is only 50% size with only a 20inch wing span il sort a picture out with it on the scale once motor is instored.
Looks awesome man. I have to get my rear in gear and start this build but have to test my versa wing first to see if i like it

Why a flat bottom wing and not a semi-symmetrical or a symmetrical airfoil? I noticed the majority of the models have flat bottom airfoils. Thinking of a NACA2415 style wing. Would it be worth the test or is there a reason not to go there?

I was flying my FT-Racer this weekend - super stable and predictable. Flys fast and can slow up to a meander
