I was given a kit in a plane box called Merlin stunter. It came from an estate. Looks to be 70; 80 vintage.
There is no plans, only a typewritten instruction sheet signed by someone with initials JJ
It is a profile, about 36 inches big rounded wing tips, constant chord wings.
Nice thick wings, band saw cut parts.
Any info or plans?

Wasn't this a Magician clone from J&J sales?
-
it looks a lot like a magician 15.

Do people ever move the tailplane back to where it looks as though it ought to be? Any good?

Back when I started to fly competition in beginner class around 1987, that was a common modification to Magicians. I think we know much more about control geometry, lead out adjustments and adjustable handles that it is just not necessary. I think it looks better stock anyway and flies just fine that way. Ask Jim Kraft!
Type at you later,

Try over on the Barton site. But then again the one I remember there had a built up fuselage. Can you get a picture of the plan? ???

There is NO PLAN in the box or I could find. It was a lot like american pickers in there.
Looking for a plan.

There's a couple of Magician plans on Outerzone. 48" and 34" spans. Does either one fit what you have?

the fuselage is clearly a magician clone full sized. It will be a fun build. Had one in 1977 with a fox 40 big case. Probably use a fox 35

I'm 99.9% sure that is from Joe Just as J&J sales.
