60/90 Pattern

[Randy Hatfield]

I was thinking of enlarging the plans for a GP Tracer 20% or 25% to get a
60/90 pattern plane.  Maybe use a set of 60/90 sized foam core wings and
stabs instead of a built up wing.  Is a foam core wing really lighter?

If you can wait a while I am in the final stages of producing the plans and
prototype for a new pattern design. It is similar to my Mirage design all
wood with foam wings and stab. Fuse construction is similar to the Morris
Models Balsa Nova. Fuse is two meters two piece wings are slightly shorter
with about 1000sq. inches Weight will be under 10lbs. I am shooting for nine
lbs. six oz.I should have drawings completed next week contact me direct and
I will try to get you some details if you have any intrest.
