Here is my little bug...before and after. I did about 5 flights on it hand-launch successfully. Then attempted to launch it with my home-made bungee launcher. What a mistake!!!! The plane made a slow, uncontrollable roll right off the launcher, and into the ground. Ouch!

Here is my new bug. With home-made decals printed on my inkjet printer, and worked up in Photoshop. Modeled it after VFA-34, the Blue Blasters. I got all the kinks worked out of my bungee launcher by launching my Twinjet off of it about 10 times first.

Vitals on this plane:

Kevin Cox F-18 kit

Hacker B40-12s motor

Wemotec Minifan 480 ducted fan

Hacker master 40 speed controller

10xCP-1700 cells.

The blue angels plane was outfitted with the same setup. I was able to salvage all the electronics from it to build the new one.

Construction Time = Just a few evenings. Very easy to construct. It is an ARF.
