heres my sneeker
« on: February 13, 2010, 06:26:32 PM »
I'm trying to post a picture of my Walt Umland vintage combat ship, just for practice.
Well it looks like it worked. Its an Umland Sneaker kit, Monokote, Fox 25BB for old retired drivers, unflown but very light, should be fun. Walt did put out a truly nice kit. Hope Reiley Wooten liked it.

Dennis, nice job on the Riley Wooten Sneeker.  I built three of them in the late 1960's and liked the sports car handling they offered.  I actually liked them better then the VooDoo.  My Sneekers were silk and Silron covered.  They powered by Fox .36x BB combat engines on pacifier fuel systems and running on Top Flite nylon 9/7 props.  I still have all three, but I haven't flown a Sneeker for almost 20 years..............TDurrill   H^^

I flew these back in the day. Lone star kitted them literally for peanuts, and they were always a potent plane to fly.

when R/C combat was starting years ago we flew Voodoo type models,36 in w/S with the Fox 19BB engine. With an 8/5 and streamer they were doing over 80 MPH and extremely maneuverable, No throttle and coupled aileron/elevator. Great fun.
The 25 will compensate for the lines.
