As a longtime fan of anything scale that flies the circle, I've always been drawn to the high wing cabin types.
Chris McMillan's son Michael built a beautiful Mr. Mulligan a few years back, much detail, recall the cowling was borrowed from a Great Lakes kit.
Walter Hicks' Mulligan was re-kitted with all contest balsa... I've built 2 Sterling Mr. Mulligans, just sport fliers, nice flying airplane. Lands fast, not a long glide...heavy Sterling wood. Ran the bellcrank up high in the last one, lines out the wing, no dihedral. Hinged some on loops, but otherwise O.K., for what it was...(scale planes that size don't fly 'scale'!)
I'm interested in Marcus's Citibria, those larger R/C kits have offered very scale-like lines, albeit some engineering is required for a C/L conversion: anxious to see the M.O. from the bare structure.
My Top Flite P51 razor back I converted in the '80s was my first departure from 36"-40" semi scale, I wondered why I waited so long to go to 60".
