Speaking of rather unusual looking 1/2a models as recently discussed about Musciano's Lilliputian on another thread, it reminded me of a 1/2A model that is on my list to build as soon as my 6 year old grandson shows any interest to fly a control line airplane. This Dainty Dolphin was published in the Oct 59 American Modeler. The name of the designer/contributor is not shown.

Looks like an Andy Clancy design. (Easy Bee series of RC models).

Cute enough to be a Keith Laumer design, but it doesn't have any of the construction tell-tales I'd expect. Somehow, it reminds me more of a penguin than a dolphin. Maybe from some similarity with the non-flying full-sized pilot trainer of that name?
