After the Torellian Invader upscale, I wanted to build something small, simple, and easy to fly. This is a MAC Performance Blackfly kit that I purchased at LDRS 44. It should be flyable on G (~2000 feet) to I (~5000 feet) motors. The only electronics will be a Jolly Logic Chute Release and a TeleGPS for tracking. I'm planning to have the TeleGPS in the nose with a screw switch exposed via a hole in the shoulder to allow the tracker to be turned on and off without disassembly.

The kit's design is unusual in that it has five fins. It should also be relaxing to fly, hence "Take Five."

As of this writing, the tail section is done. I still need to design and build the tracker sled for the nose, and do the paint and graphics.
