This cute little design, the "Sniper" by Bill Bischoff, has been around for years, once kitted by the late Ken Smith. Plans are available. It has a "Gotcha'" foam wing, covered with silkspan and 50/50 water/Titebond mix, then Coverite or similar over that. It is very simple as Carrier planes go, featuring no slider, a simple release for the arresting hook, and a square fuel tank. It has placed first at the Nats numerous times, this particular plane has placed 2nd with an Irvine .15, has also used the MVVS and now has the Conquest .15.
This size plane is a little tricky to fly, susceptable to winds and turbulence to a greater degree than a .36 or larger size, but it is lighter and pretty much just bounces off the grass with little to repair in case of a mishap.
With the increased interest in Carrier, this might be of interest to some. dg
