Pretty plane Gordon.  Looks a lot like the Dinosaur the kids(once upon a time) from Baltimore flew.  Walt Siedlecki and buddies.  The triple boom is kind of distinctive.

Well I flew my yegad today.


              Well I flew my yegad today



          
                   Well did I mention I flew my yegad today
  

         Well I should say it flew me. 133.mph 40% nitro and 7.8 dia.x 6 inch pitch.

This old body isn`t what it use to be. Now I remember why I made them just under 500sq. inches.  The Yegad is only 330sq. inches

Chad,
It`s a modified Super Twister.Stock was 35 inch span Mine is 43"span and a thicker airfoil and alittle more cord. I used my Challenger airfoil.

Gordy, are you trying to tell us you're getting old. LL~ LL~ LL~   Of course the best I ever got was 118mph pulling a streamer.

I never clocked one with a streamer.  I did put the first TWA on a VooDoo, 8/7 Top Flite pylon prop, 25% fuel.  About 135mph .  Could barely turn a 90 deg loop until it slowed down.  Then it would do eights.

Marvin,

Mark 6 is not stock. It turn quite nicely for that small of plane. Of course I put tail weight on it before flying it.
