Hi Juan,

I *think* I have the article in my collection and I will try to find that magazine.  Can't remember the method of how he built the wing.

Hello Bill
                  I have the Dec 66 issue of FM that shows the Talon and I have the plans. I`m just trying to clear something on the plane the shape of the intakes on the bottom. I dont think it was flat from the pics in FM it looks like it has a groove inbetween them.Here is the picture. Also the engine cooling air opening is not the one on the plans.
                                                                                                                                        Juan

Ask Joe Dill (he's on here). He just built one.

Hello Randy
                   Thanks for the tip,I could ask Mr.Dill where he got the canopy for his excellent rendition of the Talon. I have been able to contact Mr.Greg Zajack who now owns the original talon and he is going to take a few pictures of the plane for me. He told me he inherited from Mr. Kostecky  when he passed in 2001. I`m all reved up about this design too bad is not often done.
