Fubar 1600

I have the Fubar 1600 sq. in. finished and am sharing some pictures with me holding it to give a sense of its dimensions

Ready for SAM Electric LMR event.

Came out to 107" span, Fuselage is 76" nose to rudder, 1600 sq. in area, weighs in at 132 oz. NEU motor. Setup for LMR.

Two pictures show it alongside my  600 sq.in Fubar.

Sorry, but it's going to be a while after my new hip installation (next week) before I get to fly it.

Bob Hartwig Memorial Contest June 18-19th, 2014 Ft. Wayne, Indiana

Day one was very windy with some spectacular crashes and the thunderstorms and heavy rains hit soon after flying concluded.  Day two was predicted to be much worse but started out merely with low ceiling that cleared out by 11am for some flying that was nearly as good as last year's contest.
