What is the status of your Mosquito Class HLG?
Paul,
Still in development. "We will sell no [sailplane] before its time!"
I finally succeeded in designing baseline airfoils for both of our mosquito
projects (the low tech one was particularly difficult) and I'm now in the
process of optimizing the planforms and final airfoil tailoring.
What are you going to call them DJ?)!? The guys are really
excited out here at this unbelievable MOSQUITO OUTBREAK!
As you already know, the high tech one will be called the "Harvester",
after the small carnivorous butterfly. The low tech one we're planning to
call the "Nymph", after that immature stage of insects that don't go
through a metamorphic pupal stage. We thought that would make a nice tie-in
to the "Chrysalis" theme. BTW, "Nymph" was suggested by Antonio Martinez,
one of the guys on RCSE and a good customer of ours.
Quite honestly I'm not really all that concerned about being first. I'm
much more concerned with being BEST. And if my computer is even close to
correct (and it generally has been in the past), things are looking very
promising.
