Envoy...any information?

[Glenn (Gravitywell) Reach]

I found this plan in an old drawer and can't remember anything about it.  I know its the Envoy and I bought the plan via Model Airplane News, but kknow nothing else about it.  Who designed it, what time frame, what flying characteristics, etc.  Has anyone built her; she looks like a nice ship.  Any info is appreciated.  If anyone has the original article and can scan me a copy, I would appreciate that very much.  Thanks for any help.

Well, I can't find it in the PAMPA classic designs book, so I guess it's later than '69. Sorry, not much help here. Ty will most certainly have the original copy of MAN that it's in.

Glenn,

        This plane, the ENVOY, is a 1/2A stunter, designed sometime in the 1960's, I believe.  I have the magazine with the article and plan.  As I recall, it is simply a reduced version of the ARES and I believe the designer was using a Cox .049, either a Medalion or a TD.  I can't remember much more without looking up the magazine article which I will do if I can find time over the next few days.........TDurrill

If that's the 1/2A Envoy, then it was in the 8/64 issue of MAN.

In my original; post I mentioned that I have the plans.  I am looking for any first hand knowledge of its flyablity, etc.  Wynne was kind enough to send me the article....thank you Wynne.

Design is by Edwin Hunt. Lou Crane flew one with a TD .049 at VSC in 2003 or 2004.
