151 Pseudo-Salamander Aug-2009 Designed to resemble the Heinkel He-162 Salamander, this plane was built to test the Super Flying Model 2200-9-3500 brushless motor with 1028 fan unit. The V-tail had elevator only, and the nose gear could be steered. The fan duct was made from poster board and doubled as the fan cover. The plane flew but did not have much power. |

152 Inerator (twIN ruddER demonstrATOR) Nov-2009 This plane was built to test the effectiveness of twin rudders on a twin boom airplane. The plane had a single aileron, but the test program eventually ended with the plane being controlled by a single rudder. It worked. The wing dihedral allowed the rudders to function. |

153 FBD1 (Foam Board Delta 1) Nov-2009 The first plane of it's kind for me, it had the Super Flying Model 2200-9-3500 brushless motor with 1028 fan unit and a posterboard duct. This plane also had 60 green LED lights on the bottom. It flew very well and was very fun to fly, especially at dusk. |

154 TJS-1 Dec-2009 Designed by a 14-year old who was new to designing planes (but he watched his Dad build and fly for years), this plane required some adjustments before it flew. Throttle had to be applied carefully because full power caused the plane to pitch down, but the large wing area allowed good flight at constant throttle. |

155 So.28 Dec-2009 Yet another in the So series, this one was different in that only the wing was EPS foam, all else was foamboard. This plane was given to my friend for Christmas. |

156 So.29 Dec-2009 The 29th in the So series, this one was also different in that only the wing was EPS foam, all else was foamboard. This plane was given to my Son for Christmas. |

157 So.30 Jan-2010 30th in the So series. The wing was EPS foam, all else was foamboard. |

158 So.31 Jan-2010 Another So plane. This one was constructed from EPS foam for the wing, fuselage, and tail booms (tail booms were strengthened with clear tape). The stabilizer and fins were foamboard. The motor was mounted high above the centerline and incorporated a few degrees of up thrust to compensate. So.31 flew very well. |

159 So.32 Jan-2010 The 32nd "So" plane. This one was constructed from EPS foam for all, except the tail surfaces were foamboard. The motor was mounted high above the centerline and incorporated a few degrees of up thrust to compensate. This plane is fast having only a 24 inch wingspan. Flies great. |

160 TJS-2 Feb-2010 Designed by my son, this one was a noble attempt, but ended up not flying well. It was the smallest RC plane we've made to date, with a wing span of 18.75 inches and a RTF weight of 5.1 ounces. Used a GWS EDF-50. |

161 So.33 Feb-2010 Another fast So plane. Wingspan 24 inches, weight 14.3 ounces. TowerPro BM2409 18T motor, 8x3.8 prop, 3S1800 lipo. 92 watts per pound, thrust to weight ratio 1.16. Excellent flyer, very fast! All EPS foam except tail surfaces are foamboard. |
