Is this the same Jim Carpenter that designed the Super Swoop and later put out by Sterling?   If so it was one good flying combat wing at the time.

I checked Barry Baxter's site and it says that the Super Swoop was Bill Carpenter's design.

However, Jim Carpenter could put one heck of a super swoop on you when flying combat.

He was a good guy, that Jim. We'll miss him.

Thanks Chris for the info.  It has been a few years since I had my Super Swoop.
