    The Design Intent of this series is to produce 33" Foamy "Block Built" Profile planes as close to scale as possible. Keeping Very Simple and Very Inexpensive allways in mind. Built around Grayson Hobbies Disposable Foamy power plant (CB2208-14) or similar set up. 3 servos. (I have no connection with GH, I just like the 19.95 price point) Attention to Scale detail is of primary concern, compromises made due to flat plate foam construction are kept minimal. I have intentionally left out "G" code for several reasons. I live in Ireland and all our stuff is metric and the powerplant you choose will most likely differ etc. Just seemed to me that each of you will end up with your own code. Lasty, no attempt was made as to "nesting" or laying out the parts the way you might cut them.

    Notes: When you talk about Formula One racing, forget about all but two airplanes--Rivets and Shoestring. Rivets is the tubing-and-fabric invention of one man, Bill Falck, and as Falck's imagination changes, so does the airplane. On the other hand, Shoestring, the only airplane to consistently beat Rivets on equal footing, was the result of a 1949 team effort, and has seen very few major modifications. It was fast and beautiful in 1949, and today it is still very much the same, only more so.

    I will reply to any and all questions, suggestions etc.

    All the best
