Is it a 30 plus year old design? Thanks.

the kit I have has newspaper wadded for packing dated 1992 ... you can check with Bob Hunt he is the designer.

No. Correction. Did the math wrong. Sounds like it will not qualify. 92 means only 22 years old. Perhaps it was designed and flown 8 years before. I will call Bob Hunt and ask.

Hi Dennis,

The Prowler came about from Robby's RD-1 which was in the '91-'92 time frame. Scott saw the RF-1 and wanted to kit it. Bob insisted that he wanted a tapered wing and not the straight wing form the RD-1. So Bob drew the "new" wing and Scott made kits.

We have about 8 more years before either will be Nos.30 legal.

Thanks Bill, for the information. Flew one Sunday. I really like it.

In his his earlier flying days, my son Craig had a Prowler given to him. He also flew an RD-1, which we still have. Both airplanes fly very well.
