Title: Jack Sheek's "Mossie Stunter"
Post by: Bill Little on November 18, 2007, 05:18:50 PM: Trying to nail down the date of the twin Fox 35 powered Mosquito that Jack designed and published. Need to know for sure that it is or isn't Classic legal.

Also would love to get a copy of the magazine article. I am not sure even what magazine it was printed in. I do have the plans! LL~

AMA Plans service lists it as August '81. It does not say what mag - but i would guess MA

Idea :! have any Sheeks design, regardless of date eligible at VSC. It's not like the later ones are going to be any more competative than the earlier ones.

According to the bibliography done by Tom Morris and sold by PAMPA products, (hint) the Mosquito had 2 -.15 engines and was featured in the August 1981 Model Aviation. H^^ Jack did three twin engine stunters that I could find. I wonder how many scale twin engine planes he has done? D>K

Not sure if PAMPA Products has any copies of the Bibliography right now. We are discussing reprinting Tom's Classic book since it is long sold out. Not sure about the OTS book, either! My Classic book tore up, some of it got lost, and I had to get another off ebay!
