The weekend before last week’s FAC contest in Muncie, the Cloudbusters had a regular meet in Flint. We were all preparing for Muncie. Jack lost his Big Cat Embryo in the very same plane-eating tree that I lost mine in a month before!
So…he had to do another furious building session in time for Muncie. I designed a quick building embryo. I assembled the first test fuselage in 20 minutes – that’s 20 minutes from a pile of parts to ready to cover! The entire structure can be built and covered in less than 4 hours.
Jack built the flying prototype, finished it on the Muncie flying field, and after test flights, put up two maxes and then dropped his third official.
I built this second prototype and have yet to test it under power. With any luck, this should be the next Volare Products kit – this one for anyone that wants a easy and quick to build Embryo that is capable of maxing. We call it the Sky Rocket. Check the Gallery for more photos.
