Is there anyone that can help me out, I would love to have a copy of that article! Short of finding a copy of the Stunt news it was in.
Thanks
Al, I have often thought of building a Mustang for a very long time. I always thought for years that I would purchase a Sig Mustang kit. Now I have waited too long since the kit is no longer made. My desire to build a Mustang, a .40-46 engine size is still strong.
How close to your Mustang was the Sig kit made? I know there were changes by kit manufacturers but am curious as to just how close Sig and your design are, just in case I run across an old Sig Kit. No need to do along reply. Close, not even close, or don't bother will do for my purposes.
Jerry,
There is very little similarity. Snaggletooth II's construction is much more sophiscticated and demanding of a high level of craftsmanchip. For the effort, it has more capable performance and more scale-like appearance.

Looks like I may have to give scratch building a try. I'm presently starting a Brodak Ares I won on the forum Christmas Drawing. I never have built an I-beam. Just recieved the vidio from Bob Hunt about "Building I-beam Wings" and am raring to start that learning experience. Especially with Mr. Wewage at my side on the tube.
Will check with AMA to see if I can get Al Myers plan.
Thanks all for the advice and information.

Al's Mustangs and all of his other semi-scale stunt ships have always been at the top of my "All Time Cool" C/L model list. They represent the epitome in scale appearance combined with high end stunt capability....Definitely. I'm generally not too concerned about scale fidelity in models - but if it looks good it looks good, and if it flies right it flies right. These certainly do both H^^
Curiously, it doesn't seem very effective with clunk tanks.
Dear Al,
(Part deleted)
On SSW some guys seem confused about what "modern designs" actually
means and discussed classic designs. Al can correct me on this but I believe he meant designs from at least the 1980's forward when he used the word modern.
Al, I would like to thank you for all the inovations and contributions to stunt that you have listed but I also think it is appropriate to thank you for taking a staid and static event like stunt that was filled with Nobler clones and then you opened a door of possibility that has inspired others to add their own inovations and creations and has yielded modern stunt design.
Respectfully,
Pat Robinson
I think that there is a full pattern on youtube. I'll try to find the link
Al
This one?
That's the youtube video but this time there was no audio. Usually there is normal audio on that web site for that video.There was audio when I played it back?

To me, it wouldn't be half as cool without the smoke and sound of an engine. H^^
Any video of these flying the pattern?
