Just wondering if anyone has plans for the deBOLT Stunt Wagon?

Thanks much, W.W.

I have a complete original kit if anyone wants it. The box is in abismal shape, but the kit looks to be all there, and in good shape.  It has cool shaped wood for the rudder and the bottom pan. I’ll never build it,but if someone else will, I’ll sell it.

Correction, someone built one side of the wing out of this kit. All parts are there except for the ribs, wingtip and leading edge for one side. Everything else seems to be there. Even the original instruction book
Even and the water transfer decal is there. The plans are unbuilt on. Whatever someone thinks it is worth to them...

Ahhh, then disregard my PM. But thanks for double checking and posting!
I do love the look and the design of the Stunt Wagon, recognizing that it's geometry doesn't lend to good flight characteristics. But it's so "cool" that I made it into a 3D CAD design (SolidWorks).

I just flew my 30 year old stunt wagon last week. Still fun.

  I can't find it anymore but I saw a photo once of one done up in a late '30's Navy scheme, by Tom Luper if I recall correctly. That one was one of the coolest models I've ever seen. Ever since seeing that photo it's been another design I've always wanted to build, would be a perfect candidate for the 'ol K&B .61 sitting on my shelf. Maybe if I live to be 140...

Charlie Reeves competed with one for several years.  I think he won the Nats OTS event at least once and placed well at VSC several times with his.

Hi Keith, hope all is well with you and Barbara, the first time I saw one was at my first
VSC, Ken Smith had one. I picked one up at the AMA Expo but its missing the wing parts.

Charlie Reeve's Stuntwagon with the Long-nose Fox 59 impressed me so much I had to have one, too. He supplied me with plans and I built it but it didn't fly like his. LB and I lightened it by about a pound and still it didn't fly well. It's a cool plane, but the stab Leading Edge better not be canted down!
