Title: Found a old article by Larry Cunningham
Post by: Paul Taylor on September 05, 2024, 08:09:22 PM: I think this was on Stuka Stunt at one time.

Still some good info from back in the day.

Way back when that was published, I was looking for ways to make lighter, stronger RC pattern aircraft, and I implimented a lot of the design philosophy into my pattern plane of the time. I then began to delve a little deeper into stunt found wonderfully beatiful aircraft. After that, the rest was history. I rarely fly RC now, and consider most of the aerobatic aircraft around today as ugly, inflatable blimps!

It's an interesting insight that you have there. I find that all R/C pattern models in the upper levels of competition today all look alike, and now C/L stunt is starting to look that way also!! The recent world champs is an example. It rather resemble "Shark Week!" It was very refreshing to see Todd Lee's P-51 in the front row and in the Top 5!!!

Type at you later,

Thanks
