Dick Sarpolus published plans in the November 1976 issue of Model Builder. There was not a construction article, but instead, there was a one page spread showing pictures of the finished model and one picture showing the components in bare wood. Fuselage was 1/4" sheet. Wing and tail surfaces were 1/8" sheet. Recommended power was the Cox TD .049. 27" span, 19" long.

I think most of those details are on the plans. I was wondering about recommended line length.

Hi Allan,

Seems that 45'-50' of .008 were recommended.

The Sarpolus plans from Model Builder shows:

"Fly this model on 35' or 40' .008 or .012 stranded cable lines"

With a TD in front, I would suggest at least 40' lines
