It's really amazing to see all the different versions of this fine plane. I-Beams, built of flaps and elevators, it really is cool. The original plans I got from Tom many decades ago were very much like what I built this time. I never new of the other versions.
Here is an update, the plane has been to the field a couple of times and I have settled on the APC 10.5x4.5, it seems to work best with my Brodak-40. I also had to replace the NVA, it was sucking air causing the plane to go lean but only in the air. The plane shows great promise, it corners very well and if all goes well tomorrow it will be entered in it's first contest this coming Saturday. Oh and one last note, the stencils have been ordered from my friend Stan Tyler for the name and AMA number they will be painted on in blue. That will pay homage to the red, white, and blue color scheme Tom Warden used on the original.
