The Neme-Q+ was developed to evolve the already very fast original Neme-Q to fine tune the overall handling qualities and reduce the parasitic and induced aerodynamic drag.  The design was developed using 3D CAD and computer airfoil analysis so that the configuration could be fully developed before the precision CNC machined aluminum molds were cut.  This resulted in a new design that flew right off the board in it's first contest resulting in 2nd and 5th place finishes at the 2003 US NATS, only days after the initial test flights of the prototypes.

The airfoil on the Neme-Q+ is an evolution of the excellent Nemesis Formula One airfoil used on the original Neme-Q.  Computer airfoil analysis tools were used to adjust the shape of the airfoil to better optimize the performance for the Reynolds Numbers that today's Q500 racer fly at.  The result is an airfoil with lower drag at racing speeds and much improved handling qualities at all speeds.  The airfoil on the tail surfaces received the same attention.

The end result is a Q500 design with unequaled all around handling and minimized drag for the ultimate in Q500 racing aircraft.  The efficiency of the design really shows up when the engine is shut down and landing is completed with the same control throws used during the heat race with plenty of control response.  A sign of an airfoil package properly designed for the application.
