I was really pleased at how well it flew.  #^  #^
The outboard wing a bit high but that seems to be all the trim it needs.
The engines are not making full power but they're new and need more run time.  y1

Watched the video and it looked she had plenty of power.   Will hope for plans.

There will be soon.
I will first have to get a CAD program.

Then, a real good chance for a Brodak kit.

Very easy plane to build - Mine took around one week.
Ribs are all the same size.

If you're interested, I will post some photos.

Hi Bob Z-man....
Is that the plane that Randy Holcroft build about 20 years ago? His was black, I think....

Bob,
 I thought that Hank had a B team racer named Jezebel.

Bob,
I just checked. "Jezebel" by Capt. Henry M. Bourgeois, Air Trails Dec 1951. I have a poor Xerox copy . It had swept wings.

Yep - there were two.

  A twin engine stunter and a team racer.
