I found my old MAN issue of Les McDonald's beautifully written article about his beautiful STILETTO.
Here is a quick glimp back on the history of that article.
Again my deepest gratitude to Les for sharing some of his personal photos..and stories with us here on Stunthanger.
Check out today's scans.....

That Stiletto is one of my favorite designs. What a work of art.
I would like to build me one so i can know what it is like to fly

Hi Milton,
Some clubs and Brodak's already have: It's called "Nostalgia 79" - classic rules with 1979 cutoff date.

The Stiletto is a great performer. Here is my version, ST .46 for power.

We did.. Come to Tulsa the last weekend in September and you can fly it in Classic 79', As Pat said, you can also fly it at Brodaks.
