Was wondering when you'd get around to a Concorde-ish sort!

This is similar to the BT-70 Concorde I flew the heck out of a few years ago, primarily on E20s. That used a regular 34" BT-70, with a rolled paper cone for the NC. Angled rear tube, as well, no charring issues there. Readiboard wings/tail, and BT50 pod. Great flyer, need to make another.

Thinking of making a 3" Concorde, using two ply standard foamboard, as a reasonable HPR glider, without being too large. I motors seem to be the best 'cross' between size/power, and affordability. Yeah, this will be old school Free Flight, so it'll probably glide nice and straight.

Seems you're getting mileage out of those Cosmic Interceptor parts....wonder if I should get on board? How heavy is the NC, and is that a BT70 or 2" heavy walled tube?
