Nike Challenge Thread

here is a previous discussion on the larger Nike.

Larry is building the smaller one, which is my favorite. There are several sizes. I will take a pic and let you see one that is disassembled so you can see the weighting.

Any other info on the larger Nike you may have??
Got this from the old thread:

The angle of the diving plane appears to be 35 degrees. The plane is 2 1/4 inches long and 1 inch wide. The protrusion on the front of the plug is obviously also 1" dia and projects forward about 1 1/8 inch.

The plug is 7 1/2 " long. It is 1 3/4 ' wide at it's widest, about 3 " from the nose. The last 1 1/4' of the plug is a straight barrell, 3/4 " in diameter.
Thanx...Lou

The tail hook is 2 1/4 from the rear, the front hook is 2 1/2 " from the nose and there is 2 5/8" between them.

Wanna do this one too!!

I used AYC this seemed to work on the ones I made.

Here is my attempt - Thanks for the diagram proff.

It works well - It is not as fat as I would like because I only had 1.5" stock but I still like it. I will definitely make more it was fun to build.
