[NSRCA-discussion] Black Magic website updated

Wed Jun 7 12:55:26 AKDT 2006

Mike that is very impressive ..... Do you gain most of your weight
advantage by careful balsa selection or use of strategic composite
interface?  Maybe that is an inappropriate question since there's no one
place to "Save" weight, but I'd still like to hear your thoughts.  You
obviously "Know" how to build light.

Thanks, Chris

I'll let you know LOL First YS versions are just nearing completion.

But mine are both right at 9lbs 8 ozs with the OS140. My guess would be
9lbs 12-14 ozs. or, "about 10 lbs". Less if you're picky, more if you're
not.

	Hi Mike,

	What are you seeing as a typical weight for the Black Magic
using a YS setup?

	Thanks, Chris

	Yes, Emory Schroeter has.

	He used a Plett 30-10 and Tanic packs (3 lb packs). Final weight
was 10 lbs 10 ozs. Would have been very close to 10 lbs with a Hacker/TP
setup. I'll say it flew fantastic, ridiculous even, I'd let anyone else
who saw it comment further.

	It met an untimely demise in the Ocala contest. RIP. But...there
is another.....

		34" is just right. I think the Temptation is around 29"
and the Smaragd is close to 33". That's how I guage how wide the fuse
is. Has anyone done the plane Electric yet? Thanks, Mike

		6 3/4" wide, Almost 13" tall at the canopy, and if you
wrap a tape measure around the canopy, the circumference is 34". It's
not so large as to be a kite, but it rolls, point rolls and KEs
EXTREMELY well. But due to the shape, it also penetrates the wind very
well. Everyone who's flown it seems to like it a lot. I know I do =)

				For those that are interested, the Black
Magic site is undergoing some changes (finally!) I have an old friend
doing some work on it, and so far I like the way it's coming out. Lot's
more to come, but it's a great start from my hacked up old site =P

				And BTW the carbon stuff is back in
stock, and I don't forsee any shortages any time soon. 

				Enjoy and thanks,

				-Mike
