Bryon Rahilly built Allen's last design.
Very nice.

Okay Paul-nice work but, hows about telling us something your plane.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #3 on:** April 12, 2014, 11:58:51 AM »

It not mine. Bryon Rahilly built it. It was the last plane Allen B designed.

It wasn't published, was it? I don't remember it sitting here while I'm typing this. Looks kinda low aspect ratio? I'll have to do through old emails to see if Allen ever mentioned it, or if he mentioned it in one of his columns.
Nice looking model by the way!

Hey Dan
He showed it to Bryon and I last year at WKSI. Bryon was looking forward to showing it to Allen at Brodak's. Not sure if Allen wrote anything. I here Tom Morris is kitting or going to kit it.

When you get the chance, get a couple of profile or three quarter shots so we can get the full effect of the design. Looks like an signature Brickhaus twin rudder? Plans available?
Thanks a lot,
Dan McEntee

I know Bryon has plans. He will have it at WKSI this summer. Will try and get a few more pics.

Andrew Saunders · « **Reply #8 on:** April 12, 2014, 07:00:43 PM »

Allen had asked a few people at WKSI to build it and try it out and let him know what they think. It was still in the works as a test plane for a new model to release. I remember Allen giving the plans to people at WKSI and even asked if i would be interested. I denied due to not having the greatest of building skills yet.

Andrew, you should have taken the plans. You don't need to be an expert builder to build a design. And from what I have seen of Allen's past designs anyone that can't build from the plans just may have to give up and pay to have the plane built. It takes practice and more practice to do any thing with model planes.

That is PRECISELY what it takes.

Very nice build Bryon.

Paul, perhaps you could get a few more pics as Dan suggested. It is an interesting design, in that it appears to have no flaps. How about a few specs?

I got a set of the plans from Allen, just haven't got around to building it yet (plan to before the summer is over, have the rib set from Tom M.) I think Allen based it on the wing from the TEOSAWKI. Our build will be for electric.

Andrew Saunders · « **Reply #13 on:** April 13, 2014, 03:04:59 PM »

James you are right. I remember Allen saying the wing is from the teosawki.

Will Davis · « **Reply #14 on:** April 27, 2014, 06:09:12 PM »

This is Watt Moore's model, we flew it on sat April 26, very good flying model 48 ounces

Will
That is very nice.

Interesting airfoil.

Up, flapless, based off the TEOSAWKI.

It is based on the teosawki wing and tail aerodynamics, it flys really good, but we are still working out the trim issues, with the increases side area, it flys better in some parts of the pattern, especially in low wind, it has a more traditional stunt look than the teosawki,

We will have it at Joe NAll all week and then at Brodak's . The model was a semi quick build kit by Tom Morris, fuselage was done, wing unbuilt, very nice workmanship by Tom , quick, easy build for anyone with limited time to spend in the shop

Paul Wescott · « **Reply #20 on:** April 30, 2014, 11:45:33 AM »

If someone were to play the notes on the side and tail of "Watt" Moore's model, what would it sound like? Something recognizable?

Someone put me on the list to buy plans or for notification of a kit being available. My daughter is into music and I like stunt planes without flaps...

A couple of Teosawki pics are attached if all goes well...

Paul,

Watt Moore has the plans available, Tom Morris has the kits available , if you like non flapped stunt models, as I do, you will love this design. A real delight to fly and trim
