Neil Simpson, in an effort to keep up, has put the "Carbon Coyote" on a diet - 32sx - bladder tank - adjustable venturi - 23.5 ounces
Above is the second prototype in a series of design changes to lighten the Carbon Coyote.

Right and above are a few of Jim Carpenter's latest "Yankee Nippers". Just part of the 2004 Fleet
Above and below Matt Stas testing his latest concept - A thrust line that turns into the direction of control input - works off the bellcrank - tricky stuff !
Hi Neil,
He recycled his dad's boom, center rib and elevator, gluing on his own cores and spars. Cutting out and boxing his tank area, installing tip weight and wing tips plus covering and leadout guide. All this work was done by Little Sherm himself, dad's going to help him with the control system (for safety reasons) but this is truly Sherm's own Yankee Nipper.
Jim
PS Note that he is finally taller than his plane is spanwise!
