Thingamajig (Yankee Nipper) Update
Well, now the tail boom is epoxied into the wing slot. So, once the epoxy sets, the controls can be hooked up. And that will pretty much finish the plane.
I guess I probably should call this a Yankee Nipper. It sure looks like one.
The Yankee Nipper is supposed to have Psycho foam wing cores from Phil Cartier. But the cores I used are from a Gotcha Super Streak kit I bought on eBay. So I do not know if they are the same as the Psycho cores or not. So this plane may be a Yankee Nipper. But it may just be almost a Yankee Nipper. Only the Shadow knows...
The Yankee Nipper is a design by Jim Carpenter. If you want details on it go to: www.homestead.com/necn/
The metal motor mounts in the pictures were purchased from Jim Carpenter. The plans in the pictures were also bought from Jim Carpenter.
The wing covering is Towercote from Tower Hobbies. The paint is Rustoleum over water based polyurethane.
More pictures to follow.
