Yoo-Hoo! Anyone out there actually completed and flown a new Tercel?  ??? Nationals winning design, RSM kit, got to be good, yes? Clue us in on progress.

Hi Jim;

The kit plan is available. I had the plans drawn in AutoCAD and they were completely checked over for accuracy and approved by Keith Trostle. They are available at www.rsmdistribution.com and cost $15.00.

If you decide to order them please be advised that I am leaving on a cruise tomorrow Dec 4th and will not be returning to work until Dec 19th. For that reason I will not be able to ship them until after I return to work.

In the original Tercel article in Model Aviation I was listed as the source for cored-out foam wings for the Tercel. I sold a bunch of them in that time frame. I still have those templates and can produce either cores or fully-sheeted wings with 1/32-inch thick balsa sheeting. I can also provide Lost-Foam wing building fixtures for that design.

I was privileged to be at the Lake Charles Nats where Keith won the 1/2A stunt event with the Tercel. He let me "borrow" it that day and I placed second with it! Memories, memories...

Got my original Tercel fully sheeted cores from Bob yesterday.  These wings are great.  Bob does magnificent work.  I want to build an original size Tercel using a Cox engine.  I just hope I can make the rest of the build justify the cores.
