Luke:
First off I see this was your FIRST post on StuntHanger - Welcome aboard!
I do not personally have the answer to your question, but I think that your supposition is pretty darned close to correct. Jack, Jim Vornholt, Bernie Ash, Bob Randall, and the rest of the Indianapolis Stunt Team certainly shared a lot of ideas and influenced each others airplanes. Jack built and published the most by far, and as you noted if you put the ME-262 published by Vornholt along side several of Jack's designs in the same time frame there is certainly a strong family resemblance.
I never saw a 262 fly, hoping you can elaborate more about yours: Engine used, weight? How did it fly? How'd it compare to other stunters you flew?
