With all of the interest being shown in the Scientific kit designs, I wanted to show this. This was scratch built from Scientific plans for a Black Sheep all 1/2A contest at Supulveda Basin about 20 years ago. Had little time to build and finish it so the simplest paint job I could find was applied. Cowl was carved from a single balsa block. Canopy is a piece of solid plexiglass. Flew quite nice and has done simple loops. Mounting plate on the back of the cowl holds the nose gear in place. About a 26" span. The event it was built for required a Scientific kit design, built up wing with a minimum span of 18" if I remember right, not a hollow log thing.
8 0z. Spinner is from a Dale Kirn collection of never released Cox spinners.
