I joined a flying club this week. I'm not the youngest, but at 29 I'm still fairly close. First flight at the new field and I crashed my blunt nose Versa when strong winds folded the center section.
So, I built a stronger prettier version I call the "Versa Spear"
I hated how much nose weight my Versawing needed and that a standard 2200 3-cell wouldn't fit, so I stole the idea of the center section from the FT Spear. Mine is about half an inch thinner in chord and the trailing edge is only about 3/4" tall instead of the almost 2" of the spear. I'm still tweaking the CG and reflex, but I'm very happy with it. There is no dihedral, like the Spear, so it goes right where you point it upright or inverted, and it can thermal too!
