Here at some pics of Keith's new Saturn. Keith does such nice work. Interesting nose treatment.

Keith will have to supply the details on it.

Saturn by Bob Hunt. Lost foam construction . Cheek cowls added to cover the side exhaust header leading to pipe . Brodak dope . Magnum 36 engine . I made the nose the longest option shown on the plan and still needed to add one ounce to nose, Gee I hate that. Turned out too heavy at 57 oz. Still not hinged or flown yet.(obviously).The best part .... Pilot is 99 cent G.I. Joe. Keith V. P.S. Thanks Randy

Keith,

What a terrific piece of work. Your stuff just keeps getting better and better.

A 57-ounce model is only two ounces heavier than PTG's latest Diva, same powerplant and with pipe. Remember, 15% and 20% nitro fuel is always a good anti-pork option.

A request: At the next PAC contest, late Friday afternoon, virtually calm conditions, I would like to test fly this model.

Hmm, I suspect that NO ONE is touching this one. Poor Will, he will never live that down.

Beautiful job, Keith, but I'm kinda surprised that you'd build the same design for a .36, when your other one had a .61. I think a ST G.51 or SSW Magnum XL .53 would be ideal in a Saturn...nice looking design. Steve

Edit: Dan, hope you like this better. Sorry!

Keith,

Out of respect for the former 2003 Version, we should all observe a moment of silence.......................

Steve,

I guess you're not on the "A" mailing list anymore, but we were kinda keeping Will's two identities a secret.

Keith,

As all we seem to hear about from the Eco-weenies is impending doom from global warming, may I assume your offer can never be honored? Not even in the Great White North.
