Leads out coming out of the fuselage

[Paul Taylor]

A comment in another thread prompted the question…..

What CL models have the leadouts coming out of the side of the fuselage and running out to a LO guide.

I have seen a few. I think the 1949 Viking is one. I know Bob Zambelli had a plane at the field the other day with external LO’s.

Anyone know off the top of there head?

  Most likely will be OTS designs and ones with dihedral. The Icarus and Icarus Jr, The Tipsey Junior by Aubrey Kochman, come to mind. Need to spend some time in the Tom Morris compiled OTS design book.

Most all solid wing trainers like the Guillows airplanes are like that.  A favorite of mine when I was a kid was the Ambird Special ,  a solid wing , full fuselage sport plane.   The same design was first put out by Enterprise models I think with a different name before Ambroid bought it.   I found a kit and built one recently as memorabilia.  There were others similar with solid wings in the 40s and early 50s.   Actually wasn't the Jim Walker Fireball like that?

Phil Cartier had a bunch of foam wing combat and stunt planes that used external controls.  Simple to build and easy to repair.
