This Louis Grondal design looks real nice! Any ideas as to what it is? Are there plans for it?

As far as I can tell, it must be a Grondal Nobler.

1960 was the first "Official" WC.  Louis Grondal won using two Noblers.  One was a Green Box used to fly the FAI pattern (2 rounds), and his "AMA Special" used to fly the AMA pattern (1 round).  The AMA Special is what we refer to as the "Grondal Noblerl" now.  This info was from a foriegn magazine, and phone conversations with Mr. grondal himself before his passing

I'm pretty sure it was published a few years ago, probably in FM, but maybe MA. Check their planslists, and you will find joy.  H^^ Steve

The one I posted I'm pretty sure was built for an article done by Alan Brickhaus but I'm not sure which mag I would like to know because I now own this plane.

Allen does most articles of stunt for Flying Models.   There have been some in Model Aviation, the one a few people neglect to read.  VD~ Hopefully Allen will respond to this. H^^
