Someone asked me for plans of my Agile Arrow.  I have been lax and have forgotten who it was.

It flies as well as anything I have ever flown.  Engine was K&B 4011. Wing span is 60 in, 720 squares.  I think they weighed around 50 oz. I recall I was disappointed at the weight, as I expected them to be lighter.  Bob Lipscomb has drawn CAD plans, and is willing to supply a CAD file.  I also have printed plans.  The plans as drawn is a beamer with tricycle gear.  It is just a really highly modified Nobler.

Hi Jim, the old DOC would like a set of plans.  If they are digital sent to my e-mail.  Is this your iteration of the Stunt Wing?  Having fun, DOC Holliday

Doggone Jim, if that's a "highly modified Nobler", then a Chevy Cavalier is a slightly modified Lexus SC400! Gotta get to work on those Fierce Arrows . . .

This looks like something I would be interested in. I'd like the plans too.

How does one contact Mr. Lipscomb?
I'd sure like a copy of the CAD file, that's a cool looking plane.

I think I have figured out who all wants a plan.  I think I contacted every one but Garf, which my email refused to do.  I have his address anyway. We are making a few additions and some construction suggestions, so it will be a little while yet.  Thanks for the interest.
