 Thanks!

Should you decide to build the Angel, you won't regret it.

I built mine a few years ago and it's more fun than should be legal.

Build it light (Mine is right around 16 ounces), power it with a Brodak or LA 15 and you'll have a great flying little sport plane.

I'll post some pictures if you're interested.

 Hmm, I just happen to have both of those engines NIB sitting on my shelf, also an Enya .19.

 Let's see some pics when you have time.

     I would be interested in seeing the plans and presenting them to our engineering dept. for evaluation to see if a kit would be a good idea. It seems to be the right size for our line of kits.

Hi.  G Man here. (Gary tultz) on Rog Stricklers puter. I flew it at Brodak some years ago. Its amazing. Its the best elevator only design I ever flew. Bar none .

 If you go to Ebay the same person offers it on CD too.

 I'll take one as soon as they're ready.

 Hey Larry,

 Here's another one that would be very cool to see as well:

 I'll also take one of these as soon as they are ready.  

[Robert Zambelli]

I think this would make a great kit. Straightforward and very easy to build. 
There is no way I would put anything other than a 15 on it. 

I fly mine on 50 foot, .012 lines, 7-6 Master Airscrew, Brodak 10-23 fuel.

Here are some recent photos.

 Thanks for the pics and info Robert.

 I just got a chance to look at your pics a little closer Robert.

 Is that a 360 degree cowl I'm seeing? It must be a little tricky to adjust that needle valve where you've got it positioned. Good thing it's an LA so that you rarely have to. The 'Angel looks like a real fun little "Hot Rod".

 If Larry kits this one, I'll build one for sure.

[Robert Zambelli]

Hi, Warbird - yes, it's a full cowl. I molded it from fiberglass and finish coat epoxy.
I did a full article on the procedure in CL World.
It's really not all that difficult to adjust the needle valve.

And, another thing. My mistake - the lines are 53 foot, not 50.
