New from Polecat Aeroplane Works:

The XP4-V (Clam shell style) fuselage. For those who like a LOT of room in which to install their radio gear, Polecat Aeroplane works presents the XP4-V fuselage. It features an all-carbon layup with Kevlar reinforcement throughout its length, all-carbon super-stiff Allegro boom, pre-installed bondable Teflon push-rod housings supported along their entire length and 0.03" carbon push-rods, completely ready to accept your radio gear and servos. The mold is formed from a CNC plug to exacting specifications. Cut-outs in the wing saddle stiffening plate allow for easy installation and removal of ballast slugs.

The XP4-V fuselage assembly is available now for $150.
An all-carbon molded horizontal stabilizer mount is available for an additional $11.
Shipping is a flat fee of $15 within the continental US.

Also from Polecat Aeroplane Works and the maker of the XP3 polyhedral wing is the XP3/XP4 aileron wing. Phil Barnes makes the incredible all-carbon D tube wing for the XP3 and XP4. Here is a lower-cost alternative with the same exacting specifications from Polecat. This wing features an all-Kevlar skinned wing with stiff carbon spar, Kevlar doublers in the wing-tips, pre-routed servo wells and servo wire holes, and pre-cut skin-hinged flapperons and dihedral angle sanded into each wing root.

The wing shown in the picture uses 40 psi pink foam for the center section and 25 psi blue foam for the wing tips. The 40 psi center section offers greater dent resistance with just a slight weight penalty while the 25psi tip segments keep the tips light. The 40 psi foam also greatly adds to the stiffness of the flapperons as do the carbon doublers top and bottom, also standard.

The wing shown is the standard configuration, but we offer this wing in your choice of colors and foam weights all at THE SAME GREAT PRICE! We offer foam in pink and blue in 25 psi, 40 psi, and 60 psi. Special orders are our specialty. All pink with a blue wing tip on the throwing side? No problem. A 60 psi wing for sloping? Great idea!

The XP3/XP4 wing is available now for $165.
Shipping is a flat fee of $15 within the continental US. Combine orders for the same $15!
