Hey guys. Time to lighten up a bit.
The quote Charles posited couldn't have been any more related to stunt model design. The only thing apparently missing was the word "design" itself-which hardly disqualifies it.
The relationship to this Boards subject matter is inherent to the question itself which could have been asked thus: "How would one go about 'designing' a 'competitive' precision aerobatic 'design' that would reasonably appear as if it could be entered in a precision scale event?" It is a valid question and one that has been answered effectively by only several of us...most of whom became household names in our small community. Al Rabe and Keith Trostle come immediately to mind and maybe even that weird dude from up North that had the temerity to competitively fly a close to scale B-17 in stunt at our Nats and at a World Championship. His name is on the tip of my tongue...hmmm

Ted, you lightened up so much, you never mentioned David McClellan?
Is David McClellan one of those CL household names?
I gotta tell ya, famous or not, David's got a great looking Focke-Wulf. Must be someone out there that has built one?
I for one would like to know more about David McClellan's contributions and his stunt designs.
Never hear anyone drop his name?
Edited for spelling.
