Yellow Jacket 2M GS Competition

The NEW Competition GS is now added to the Shop for ordering F3RES and F5 Electric

The GS Wing paired with a V-Tail is my latest 2M design.

What’s Different

– Increase square inches 562

– Weight reduction-Single lower trailing edge scalloped from 3/32″ balsa

– Mid panels are longer and tip panels are shorter.  The wing is flatter with 8 degrees at the center to mid and 12 degrees at the mid to tips

– The leading edge is more swept back and elliptical.  The leading edge and trailing edges are flowing subtle curves vs straight.

– Lower EDA of the flatter wing performs excellent with the V-Tail designed to match.  The V-Tail is removable mounted with 4MM CF tubes over 3MM Tubes or Rods.  This sizing makes the V-Tail mounting structure very robust.  The tail is slightly lighter than the conventional tail however in addition one will notice the reduced drag achieved by elimination of a mounting block system.

It flew beautiful at Dave’s Beach right before XMas.  Larry and I had a blast flying our YJ’s in the light NW breeze.

Greg McGill on maiden day 1/24/2020.  Greg produced a wonderful build thread on RCG.  Several areas of the design were inspired by Greg including the scalloped TE, lower EDA (flatter wing) and the small wing tips.
