i spent a lot of time reading about ed aldens’ ‘vari fighter’ ... technical stuff, but i was intrigued by the spine tensioner ... also read bruce lamberts’ article on how to build an orcon fighter, as well as looking at bruce’s ‘basf’ ...

i designed a bow tensioning device from bamboo and scalloped the trailing edges ...

the fastest fighter i have built ...
