Here is my SL3 in paint. Next is some additional trim and touch-up and then ink-lining. This is the 2nd revision of my original Silver Lancer (thus SL3).

Pretty slick design. Air racer meets Warbird. I like it. Fuse or wing gear?

Bill Barns lives on....

Yeah, pretty nice but will you use the retractable floats? H^^

I have the plans. I just need to write the article. A while back.... Bob Hunt urged me to publish it when he was editor of Flying Models, so I put the plans together for the Silver Lancer. But never got to the point of writing the article. However, I didn't forget and eventually did photos and stuff of the SL2 when I built that. Of course, by then Bob was editor of Model Aviation. Well, I have now drawn up the plans for the SL3 and Bob is editor of Stunt News. So...
Bill Barnes forever!!!!
Oh yeah, it has wing mounted gear. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to make a retractable float (obviously, someone has been looking at those old magazine articles and graphics...)

There used to be some good pages on Bill Barnes at http://home.att.net/~dannysoar4/newgoodguy.htm but the page is not opening for me now.

Ah!
Thought I had misspelled 'Barnes'
Cool airplane Scott! H^^
Weight/area?
-
Don't know the finished weight on this one, but both the original SL and the SL-2 weighed 65 ounces. Both had foam wings. I stuffed a PA-61 into SL-2 and it made quite an improvement. SL-3 has a built-up wing and will have a PA-61 also.
