Did you try the AMA.   Of course Dan McEntee may have the mag his self.

Thank you John e. Looked at the AMA plans, can't see what I'm looking for, but I've sent an e-m and await response.

Hi Ian. I have the May 53 issue and the only thing listed  is an "A" class speed model article called "World's Fastest "A" ". I held the AMA and FAI record for a while.  IF this is the article you want I will email it to you. Ty M.

Ty - many thanks. I saw your e-m to me and have replied.
From your above it seems I may have got the mag. wrong. The Flying Wing design appears on the Wilks U.S. Speed designs disc, in the "B" section.
I tend to like the oddball designs that no-one else bothers to build. I did intend to build one for a Dooling 29, but having just acquired a nice McCoy 29 will now build for this motor.

   Hi Ian;
   Just PMed you regarding this. So sorry to take so long to get back, but Ty is correct. It is not in that issue, nor the April or June issue. If you find out which issue for sure, let me know and we'll dig it out.
   Thanks a lot,
  Dan McEntee
