Boof's Build thread
I originally posted this thread in the project list page. So now I started this build thread in case anyone may be interested in following along with the design process.
I've decided to model this GR-7 Formula one racer. A designer by the name of Robbie Grove created this in the late 80's. There were only two made #55 "Bummers Bullet",and #96 "Blue Streak". Although not a winner the blue streak was a top qualifier in 1989 clocked at 242 mph. The only design info I can find on this one is that it has a high aspect ratio wing for turning stability. Also there's a pic of # 87 Madness (formerly #96)without it's cowling, and a four cylinder engine is clearly visible. Maybe someone could tell it's make just by looking. Also anyone who might be able to make a guess as to the airfoil would be a big help. Anyways its a racer just like the "little tony" found in G3 expansion pack 3. There are some differences though especially at the tail section. This is a very small full size aircraft and I'm not sure what size I should make the RF model. So i'm open to suggestions on that.

Six hours in
Around six hours into the project and the model itself is done. Pivots are set, naming done, and parenting. Time to export and set up some physics. I think I may scale this one up a bit. maybe a 50%. sounds big I know but the full scale is a very small single seat racer. 26 foot wing span. Unless someone can convince me otherwise.

Setback!
Well I thought i'd go a little further an proboolean the holes in the cowl for the exhaust. when I did it seemed to have deleted the fuse. I was zoomed in and hadn't noticed what had happened. then my video card crashed and scared me into a save. Needless to say I have to redo the fuse.

Fuselage redo
Well because of my own stupidity I had to redo the fuse, but after a couple more hours it's once again a complete model. One good thing came of it. I reduced the poly count by 474. Oh and the original had an extra set of polys to the rear of the canopy added making it too long. Oh well stuff happens.
