The VooDoo did in fact come before the Sneeker. If you take into account production set up and things of that nature it could possibly be around 2-3 years later.
The link to to Riley's Bio was posted in the Riley Wooten designs post, so I saved and attached the Bio, here is the link.

I also designed the Voodoo, which Carl Goldberg Models kitted in 1961. It became one of the
most popular kits of all time, selling thousands per year for many years.

I published several designs in Model Airplane News and Flying Models magazine. Some of
these are the Pirate (1956), Quicker (1957), Comfai (1957), Watzit (1958), Rocket (1959), Bullit
(1960) and Voodoo (1961). Plus I published articles on custom tuning engines and one on
getting started in combat. I also wrote articles covering some Nats events during this timeframe.
At one time I served as editor of Eagle Squawks newsletter for the Texas Eagles model airplane
club.
I was president of Waynes Distributing, a full line hobby distributor, from its start in 1962 until
1964 when I went into the kit manufacturing business full-time.

I started Flite Line Products in 1963, producing Control Line model kits. The first kits were the
Sneeker for combat and the Quickie Rat for rat race. These were followed by many other kits
over the years including the Foam Vampire, Shadow and Sizzor design. My first Radio
Controlled (RC) kit was Skooter II (very successful).
