Yes you sure can Don.
Also thanks for the kind words about the boat.
That's why I was testing, to see if I could post pictures and how long it took to do so.
I think it's interesting to see how other people do things, so maybe others will get a chuckle about the way I do things. LOL
I'll try to get something together in the next day or so?
Teach, it's 27" with a 2" extended nose and it flies.

Pure scratch built or maybe laser cut for a kit?

Would it be rude to jump up and down and yell I want one

It is scratch built and you got it rite Jeepers, I just shrunk it by a percentage to come up with 27".
Although there was a little more to it, like where to put the batteries as this is a problem in a full size Whip.
Then there's ride height, AOA, CG is very important
It's not rocket science though and I enjoy building something no one has, especially when it runs as well as this does.
I'll post more about it in the building section in a day or two with more pictures if you guys are interested.

your not the only one that has one I am finishing up my hatch this weekend its set up for N2 sport, hardware and component placement was a bit of a challenge
I have Whip 20 and I hear you about battery placement tight hull, N2 size is even worse!

Please post more pics of your build I would like to see how you did yours!

Cool, N2 is another reason for a build of this size, I would also like to see how yours is done.
This thing is fast with UL power, should be a rocket with N2 power.
I hear someone is making them out of fiberglass, is yours one of those or did you scratch build also?

Scratch built, but I am thinking of pulling a mold off this hull after I test it, under N2 power, one of the club members offered to help me do it.

I was gonna post a build thread on my boat with pics but my computer crashed those pics were lost and I dont have them on my camera
I will post pics when I finish the hatch
