The Next project that we are starting/ already started. I was at basic training this summer and just graduated. Wile I was there my brother designed most of the new Spirit Se-1 aircraft. This (full scale) plane was released at oshkosh last year and I highly recommend checking it out it is sweet. We both though it was awesome and were looking for a counterpart for our ercoupe that would be about the same size but have some new challenges. He already has the whole plane designed and it could be built right now. But I wanted to take it a step farther before we build it as I have a lot of free time right now. I wanted to make the working "stow wing" mechanism that it has. The wings swing back like a f6f hellcat. It will be a challenge as not many people have done this successfully on rc models and get them to fly. But it would be sweet if it works. If you have any ideas let me know. Or a good way of making it lock and become a rigid wing again.
