 Jim;

  The plans arrived today. Kudos to you and Bob Lipscomb for a job well done. The large "Isometric Assemble Drawing" is over the top. Absolutely amazing. Thank You both.

 What engine did you use in yours?

I flew my Agile Arrows with K&B 4011's, which were just fine. However, I'm sure the design could handle a larger engine.

Thanks Ed Ruane

 Ed --- The design date on the plans is 1995 I guess that lets out the old time design theory.

Okay Jim,  I have held out as long as I can.  How much for the plans?  Is this what the Stunt Wing evolved too?   H^^

A $20 bill covers, just about, my expenses on the paper plan.  I haven't mailed any CD's yet, as my wife is out of town and she hid them. HB~>  I thought I had not seen Red Reinhardt's Stuntwing beforehand, but I checked my magazines, and I must have seen it, and had it in the subconscious.  I designed the airplane as a fully competitive PAMPA airplane and flew it as such.  Got a couple of my usual second or third places in advanced with one.  I would say it flys the pattern as well as any airplane I have flown.

Doc, I saw your Stuntwing, in St. Louis I think, but, as I recall ;), that was after I designed the Agile Arrow.  The 1995 date on the plan is sort of a guess.  I have Stuntwing plans and might build one someday.  As I recall, yours flew very well, and that is a for sure.

What is the wing span and the area of the Agile Arrow?

Span is 60 inches, area 720 sq in.  If you want plans and cut out ribs check with Wlter Umland.

Jim,

Wow!

I never thought I'd get excited or even have interest in a flying wing, but this design is outstanding.

Great colors and scheme also.  Tri-gear?

I'm short on cash, even 20.00 at the moment, but I would trade for a plan of that model for graphics or masks.

PM me if possible.

Really nice!

Charles
