Glad to see Vic's Crusader getting some love. I was there at Flushing Meadows the day he first pulled it out of his ATT telephone service truck. The whole field gathered around it. We couldn't believe it.

Vic said that Gene had his plane, Bob had his ship, Bill had his and, Big Jim had his ship that he was identified with. He said, he needed something to be identified with as "Vics plane".

Bob Hunt would eventually get his thing together and rock and roll with his now famous Genesis.

Harold Price also had a Crusader - If I recall it had retracts which were operated on compressed air. ( before the day of light weight electric style). I believe there was a build article in American Modeler-I saw it fly at the Snowbird meet in 1963 at Lincoln Park. Retracts are coming back into popularity - would be great tribute to Harold Price

Hi Ricardo,

I like the looks of the Curare and it looks like it flies good. On your Curare VCC the flaps are in two pieces on both sides of the wing. What amount of movement do they each move and when does the inboard flap engage to the outboard flap? And what affect does this make in a maneuver?

Thanks,

Roger

Hi Ricardo,

I do need to tell you, and the others here, that Vic's original Crusader is NOT Classic legal. I talked with him about this as I wanted to fly one in Classic myself. He told me that he did not start drawing or building it until after Jan. 1, 1970........

It IS Nostalgia 30 legal.

Vic Macaluso did two Crusaders. The first was published in American Aircraft Modeler, June 1971. In his later article, Vic mentioned that first Crusader "was nothing but Nobler moments and a 'modified' Chipmunk wing." In his Crusader II article, Flying models October, 1994, Vic states that this second version was an SV-11 made to look like a Crusader.
