I tinkered this together in the last two weeks.
27 ounces as shown, powered by a SAITO 30.
Wingspan 47, OAL 33.
The design was influenced by three very important people: #^ #^
Dennis Adamison
Walt Musciano
Dale Kirn
Can anybody guess who influenced what?? :! :!

I'll try -
"V" tail - Dale Kirn
Fuselage (looks like a "log") - Walt Musciano
So many Adamisin creations - cant decide! HB~>

Vee tail Dale Kirn and D. Adimison. Tip plates, Walter Musiciano. Fuselage and nose treatment, Dale Kirn. Wing const. d. Adimison. How'd I do? H^^
-
Good input from ALL!!!
But, John Miller goes to the head of the class!

V-tail is obvously the Adamisin's, not sure on everybody else, looks good!
-
Very interesting indeed!But to make it more modern-day Adamissin, your gonna have to go to electric power!
-
If it flies as well as the "Cardinette" it will be another winner.

Hey Z-man! Don;t know how i missed this post. Looks like another GREAT looking bird! H^^ CLP**
Looks like you locked your Stunt Rocket, Stinger and Argus all in the same deep dark closet - A great looking mix of this and that! Its dying for transparent covering too...
...and THANKS for the shout-out, am sure I have NEVER been mentioned in the same sentence with Dale & Walt... 010! AP^

Hey, Dennis - How's it feel to be one of THREE legends!!!!???
Actually, the v-tail was influenced by the plane you flew at Brodaks - I just didn't know the name if it.

I had to go back and look at again. It is intriging. You must be getting good as I see no lead out adjustment or my are worse than I thought. Now where's my plans?
-
Hi, John/Doc
They are indeed adjustable but a bit tough to see in the earlier photos. Adjustment is accomplished by moving the eyelets.
Check out the tip weight box. It's a 1/2 inch brass tube, 1 1/4 inches long, closed at one end and fitted with a screw-on cap on the wingtip.
Just unscrew the cap, add or remove lead shot, replace the cap.
Make sense?

That plane took 2 weeks ? Man what could you do in a month? Nice mix of styles. John
-
That tip weight box is sexy.
-
Here are a few shots with the covering and filler ready to be sanded out.

My cousin had a Sterling Yak 9 that had a wing resembling that V-tail. It was so oil soaked that it flapped like a bird during maneuvers. He drove some hoochie-mama woodscrews through the broken pieces to hold it together. It was covered with silk and absolutely would not die.

Bob, beautiful ship.
Not trying to suggest a direction for a name...but you did build it just for the HALIBUT. >:D H^^ LL~

No but I think I'll name it after my friend Gil!!! LL~ LL~ LL~
But maybe it's a "scale" plane.
