wow, what was your budget on this thing? We only got about $700 to work with for our aircraft. Also, why sweep the wing tips on such a low speed aircraft. It may actually decrease the efficiency of the wing by decreasing the span and inducing stronger vortexes (like a delta wing). Anyway, the aircraft looks pretty freakin sweet!

Wow, what was your budget?! We get 700 +- a few bucks for our aircraft. Also, why sweep the wing tips on such a low speed aircraft?

Hey man, I'm thinking about going into Aerospace engineering. I've taken calc I - III, Linear Algebra, and am in Differential Equations right now. I am very good with Phyiscs but I'm not too familiar with engines yet. Do you think I would have trouble in school. Or does it sound like I could pick up on everything ok? Oh and I bought a 79 Corvette Last year and am fixing it up trying to learn a little more. Sorry for the huge paragraph. Just figured you could give me some insight. Thanks

Its a dual wing because we changed wing configuration in flight (from a straight Hershey bar wing to a wing with folded wing tips). The air intake is on top of the plane (above the wing).

dont get it whats the "dual wing"? is it cuz its a V-tail?

Also where is the air intake? on the nose?
