I am going to build a few foamies this winter for speed limit and general screwing around.  They will be about 52 inches in span with a 12 inch root and 8 inch tip chord. 
The airfoil is a NACA0015-92,  The -92 moves the high point forward from 30 to 20% and blunts the leading edge. 
It will have  a tapered spars top and bottom.  The spar notch it too large on the pictures.  I will cut the foam on my home brew weight fall foam cutter.   

At least one will have a hard tank and all will allow mufflers when practice flying.
It will be a lot like the Yankee nipper except a little leading edge sweep helps in a crash and I think the boom needs to be a little longer. 

Power will be one of my OS  SFR 25's wiht metal motor mounts.

Not much progress, the templates did not product good cores.  I need to rethink the lead in angles when using a feather cut system.  While the feather cus system is really cool, many things have to be perfect to wok out. 

The scrap however has been turned into some more 1/2A airplanes.  The cuts were made with a single template and a fixed pivot.  I get very good results wiht that method.
