BEAVIS!!!

Full contact has gotta be rough. Seen some vids of the flight fest combat sessions. I wonder what plane would work best for that...I'm thinking a lifting body. There was a challenge a while back here to make a good lifting body, I may tackle it some time. There's this certain shape that creates a lot of non-traditional lift I think would be perfect for a lifting body with no extra wing surfaces...;). Good luck with Beavis, you still might want to consider the TP streamer just for dramatic effect.

If I have enough TP, I for sure will!

I want to maiden Beavis tomorrow instead of at the club. I would rather something go wrong there then have it go back into the pits

Beavis flew!!! My cameraman decided he didn't want to go, so here is what happened. I launched him, and he came back at me in knife edge, he almost hit me, and then I somehow recovered and flew him around. It felt like his CG was way off, like he was super nose heavy. I brought him in and then he came in hot and went through the tall grass and got soaked.

Beavis plans? He was a super great combat ship, and I had a blast crashing him. Would anybody he interested?
