Tech Terror deja vu again
« on: September 27, 2010, 09:44:45 AM »
I designed this toad in 1963 as part of my senior thesis in Aero Engineering.  Long story, but the upshot is that it is my only published Classic stunt design. Ugly, but it is mine.  It will do the entire AMA pattern.

The finished model is one I built one a year ago. Due to mechanical failure, crashed it at VSC before being able to fly it in the event.  So, here we go again!
Think S.M.A.L.L. y'all and, it's all good, CL, FF and RC!

Bloodstains?  Could be!   :'(

Yes, a Golden Bee with the Kavan tank extender was used on the original.  It would only just complete the pattern before running out.

It isn't really a kit, but RSM has the plans and a cut file.  You could contact Eric Rule to get a quote.  I'm not sure he has the latest plans.  I'll send them to him.

If you don't need to do a full pattern, a Venom, Black Widow or, better yet, an old RR1 would make this baby sing.  Of course you could put an RC mount on it with a Tee Dee and internal tank.....  VD~
