Lou,
It looks like there was at least one Sheeks I-beamer before "La Donna"
Here is the list of "Classic" Stunters that I have on another thread:

The list that I made for the FM Sheeks classic stunters appears to be accurate. I would still like to know if anyone finds anymore.

Some of these plans are still available from Flying models, and Frank Fanelli has been gratious enough to announce the Sheeks award in the current FM (December 2007, page 10) with a list of the plans that they still have for sale, starting with the "Shiek" 6/65.
Others on my list are available from AMA, or private sources. Again, if anyone knows of more, we would like to know about them.
