For a number of years now Greg and I have been talking about designing and building planes for sale. On those long slope safari trips we'd go over what we'd want to see in a plane. Greg's got a lot of great ideas which are top secret right now ;-) One thing that was paramount was we weren't going to sell anything that we didn't like flying ourselves.
Then a couple months ago an opportunity presented it self in the form of the Brian McLean Vector2. Greg called me up and said he'd found a plane that fit's what he was looking for. Great flyer, sleek lines, super reputation and a twisty wing ta boot. Well, sign me up!...Greg is a great pilot and if he says "this is the one"...well, I got to believe him.
Brian McLean produces kits for the Vector2. It includes the wing cores, the fiddly bits for the wing mechanism, a superb glass fuse and a molded carbon rudder. Everything in the kit is of the highest quality and finish. Looking over the plans I broke it down into building the wings and everything else.;-) So let's start with the wings.
