New Spencer design progress

I think he somehow got the file from lockeed on the SR-72

But what about the wing airfoil?  I asked about it a while ago, but nothing but silence.  Looks like it has a curved bottom, not flat like the Eagles.  Can you tell us, or is it proprietary or maybe even TOP SECRET?

I ckd the refresh rate and it was on 59. Highest offered is 60 so I set that. Ive been getting eye strain on this new pc til reset the resolution lower...that helped. And as I think you said I can't see all the pics at once at that rez. Learn sumpin every day. Yday I discovered Windows Explorer. wow...
Thx Spencer

Anything less than 70 on the old CRT's would drive me crazy. Refresh on the LCD flat screens doesn't seem to do much.  Mine are all at 60.

Joe,


Set the res to the highest (native) setting and go get some eye glasses.  You will have much more real estate to work with and much, much less scrolling around with sliders.


The CRT screens flicker and give head aches if the refresh rate is under 70.  The LCD screens are back lit so don't flicker in the same way, but motion can be choppy I suppose...

Mr Admin i just tried to post another pic as an attachment and no joy...

Joe,
It's fixed now.  The problem yesterday got fixed, but killed the attachments.  It took all day, but I think it will be smooth sailing now...  Send it on in..!:o

Spence,

Man what a good looking airplane.

Part Swick-T, part Double Eagle with the overall size of Vagabond. Love the fact only two tubes to look out through in the windshield not the Bird-Strainer a T-Craft is. If you do a single strut version with 2 seats side by side, people will be banging your doors down for plans.

My best,
Anthony

Great looking design. Got a Monocoupe attitude going on.

[High Noon]

Wow professor Sir,

That is gunna be a good looking bird. sleek, smooth...... and i'm sure light!

is that an O-200?

And a little extra nose height for a full power take off.

howdy boys
i weighed the thing a while back and got weak kneed. projected way over what i was hoping for but still way under Utt's plane. as long as his doesn't weigh any more than a Hawg he's happy. i was hoping for 550 but looks more like 600. still under Hubbuch's too. well i dont know where it could be lightened up much but i'm gettin weight off of it every where i can. by going to all lt wt accessories i can get a bunch off at only 170$ a #.  think it was 3200 which was starter alternator and the new lt wt slick mags. well we gotta pay to play. havent decided to pay that yet this plane may be a total dud. will decide after flying it a couple x. if i survive that many flights
thx for all the kind comments i'll post up a new pic before long
you boys are sweet boys
