Combat Kitten
kevin king:
The Kit I bought is named the Winder II, because it has several upgrades including the spar. Check it out.

The original winder was completely different than the winder II from Stan. It had a very thin airfoil and only one 1/4" sq spar down the center halfway back. All of Terry's were fiber glassed in the center. That was a big problem for most who built the sterling kit and didn't glass it; first hard corner would fold it. That being said the winder is a very small airplane for Mk VI kind of power. A reasonable size for that engine, in order to fly like a real combat airplane would be more like 450 sq."

I also read that he used silk and brushed on 20 coats of dope.

Removed alot of engine offset. It looked extreme. Also, I am looking for a good quality image the cat if anyone has it.
Dave Hull:
If your last request was for a pic of the "cat," here is my Combat Cat....
One brushed coat of MonoKote. Center section has 0.00 oz glass cloth. Engine is a StupidTigre thirsty-five on case pressure using a heavily derusted T-21 tank.
