A pic of this new, 10'
span, scratch-buildable, vacuum-bagged ship is now in the GENIE
website www.proptwisters.org/genie/genie.html.
I've had a couple of hours flying on it, including
in 18-22 MPH winds. I've been diving off the stretched high start for great
zooms. Very clean, with nothing hanging out due to the RDS, it penetrates
particularly well although under 4 pounds.
It is the most nimble open class ship I've ever
flown. It will take up to 25 ounces of ballast in the form of layers of sheet
lead secured on the fuselage floor. 3-piece wing is full carbon skinned with a
wrapped spar system consisting of double tapered CF spars top and bottom with
dense foam webs between. Nothing wimpy here!
I'm already building a 2nd one, with a few little
refinements. A new file for this ship has been added to the GENIE CD. All
CDs that go out reflect the latest stuff. Those on the BUILDERS LISTS are kept
informed about new discoveries, so they can build a GENIE or GENIE LT/S with
latest refinements.
Ask for the document "Is a Genie Right for
You?" to get the scoop on these unique airframes and what's available to help
create them.
The building season is on us. C'mon. Look into
these ships. You can have a highly competitive bird for $275-$300! Go for it.
The CD will show you the way. If nothing else, get one for $4 including shipping
to see what's involved and have a great reference to building techniques, with
many pix. I'm at 26 S. Roosevelt, Walla Walla, WA 99362.
