I took a close look at the published, small, drawing, that is posted on top of the photos, and the full sized set,from the Spanish company, called the Davidian.
It seems obvious that the Davidian is based on, and is a close relative, but, , there are deference's that barring a full, original plan set, or a set of measurements taken from the real original design, that I would have to voice concerns if a plane built from the Davidian plans were presented as Klemenow's classic design.
By your post, I believe you already aware of what I am talking about. Please take no offense, as none is intended by my remarks.
A very thin, and poor looking airfoil is shown on the Aeromodelor drawing. it is shown to be very thin at the tips. The Davidian has a good looking much thicker airfoil, and though it also would appear to taper at the tips, it's more like a modern stunter.
The other problem is with the fuse starting at mid chord under the fuselage, rib cut out. It appears that Klemenow's fuselage, under the wing, does not have the starved Guppy look of the Dravidian's fuselage.
When was the Davidian kitted, or published It would b e the better one to build without a reliable, rib set from the Russian design.
