If you've followed the blog, you might remember the PIGASUS project.
I'd built a Gooney Pigasus (the winged pig) back in the mid 1970s. I tried to design a new version a few months back.
Then I ran into a few problems. When the glued wings had dried, they had fallen into the center at the top. I tried to cut them free to reset them and ruined the model.
When I looked at the naked model (no paint yet) the wings were too big.
I got frustrated and set it aside.
I salvaged the nose cone "head", motor mount, razorback and even the launch lug from the first try. I was very happy with the way the head and facial expression turned out.
Here we go again, this time the pig will fly!
