"Just checked out the upstart and those wings look perfect. Affordable, larger Chord then some I've tried, the plane was already built to fly at over 13oz/sq in. I will weight out a few pods and batterise and see what I think they can handle, I'm not…"

"I get home tomorrow Brian and will send you some photo's of the pods and shopping list at home depot. I've been working on getting the weight down and the pan/tilt behind a clear dome. I'll take some photo's so you can see what I did and hopefully…"

"30-06 cheap remington 710 but I love it. The stock BOT wings will not lift a pod that size nor should anyone try with stock glider or even electric glider wings, The wings go on the bench and every square inch of every other rib is covered with CF…"

"Gary the BOT Fuselage is Fiberglass and with the way I fly I would have sent the pod right through the belly on my first flop. These baby's are Ugly, Heavy but they take a serious beating. I Mean Serious! I also need the whole thing to break down…"

"Bryan guessed right, BOT ARF wingset. Not sure how this turned out as I sold it unfinished to a guy on RCG who thought he could improve on my design. I can't wait to see how it turns out."

"Close up of Spring Mount Mock up posted. This was a quick little change from the traditional rail mount. I need to spend a little more time qetting the design cleaned up but it shows promise."

"Sorry motor mount is diy from a piece of 3/4" square tube, U channel coupler, rivits and these thingies from homedepot. http://www.homedepot.com/Electrical-Breakers-Distribution-Load-Cent...
Small aluminum spacers guide the machine screws through…"

"Landing gear since replaced with taller and lighter Aluminum."

"Thanks Jean-Claude I've been having fun with the design and to answer your questions
Chris didn't take me up on the offer which is fine, I sold this plane and its given me time to make a lot of changes and refine some rough points.
This model was…"

"Wow I just noticed. It does look like the prop won't clear. Optical Illusion I guess. When I pulled the motor it had a 15" folding and that just barely nicked the ground ."

"Prop is 12x7 and wings level clears by only about 2". I think a 3 blade 10" will work for grass strips. The motor is an e-flight power 32 pulled off a larger skylark build. I haven't decided what to use on this one yet, Maybe the stock rimfire from…"
