Nice foam evangel!! it should fly well!
Someone should connsider buiding a larger typical balsa with glow engines.. Here is an idea.. get a twinstar and convert it to Evangel... I am working on some plans, when? well, that depends on my time.

@alllmetalplane your build is amazing!
I agree! It’s coming along beautifully!
Alright, so after finishing the Simple Stick all I feel like doing is designing, so I’m gonna tackle the Evangel next! I’m going to be ordering two FT Radial F pack motors for it and while I wait for them to arrive I’m going to try to finish up the CAD work so I can have a prototype built pretty soon. I’m basing the plans off of the mini guinea pig and so I pulled up the FT plans in illustrator and have started changing them up to become an evangel. I think this one is going to fly - it’s looking promising so far! 
Alright, plans are finally done and I'm ready to start cutting some foam! The parts I ordered should be here by the beginning of next week so hopefully I can maiden it sometime next week! I'm really excited!
Got a pile of parts! Not all done yet but getting close!
Evangel V3 is built! My motors arrive tomorrow so I’ll get the power pods built, then I’ll hook everything up to a receiver and she’ll be ready to fly! I’m optimistic as this one turned out pretty light and I did my homework on it.
So the Evangel flies! It flies well and is good enough for me, but as I want to make plan avalible for others I want to tune it a little more and get it to fly even better. It likes to stall and get wonky when you get into a turn too aggressively, so I'm going to increase the under camber on the wing tips (there is about a centimeter right now.) Also I'll increase the wing chord by about half an inch to make more wing area. I may increase the size of the rudder as well since @Fintail though it felt a tad unstable on the roll axis but that could have been due to the occasional wind gusts. I think the rudder was a little larger on the real evangel than I made it on the model so it won't hurt to enlarge it a tad bit. Now I just need to make a nose that looks scale...

Cool
V3 was a great success! All the problems from V2 are fixed and this one flies perfect! I’ll finish up the nose, then I can finalize and release the plans.
