Ah yes, the old Manx Cat IV from February 1957 Flying Models Magazine.
Long ago and far away (1959 in Green Ridge, MO), a friend of mine built one of these and covered it with parachute nylon. His plane was AeroGloss dark red and powered by a K&B.35 greenhead. It was always in a hurry! It was steady as a rock in flight and quick in maneuvers. "A tail-less terror for combat fans that'll turn on a dime and give 9 cents change" as the Flying Models Magazine article said......unique in flight characteristics and presented an unusual appearance in flight. A real fun airplane........I have the plans.............might have to build one of these critters...................one of these days!
