Vector III and Minivec from RCRCM
This is pretty old news now, but certainly deserves mention here. The long awaited Vector III is finally a reality and in ready availability from RCRCM. The plane is 2.4m span and uses an SD8020 symmetrical airfoil and appears to have very nice flight performance. There’s also a 1.7m version called the Minivec available soon.
