¿Can someone to scan for me the “Crusader” article? (A Clair Sieverling´s design). It was published in FM magazine, October 1959.
Please, send it to my e-mail address.
Thanks in advance.

A nice looker!

Are you going for the upright or inverted engine?

If nothing else turnes up, contact Mike Ostella (PAMPA Directory, NJ). He has built the Crusader, and everything else that was in that magazine. I believe he still has the plans.

I tried to send a back-channel e-mail but got an error message. I can send the scans. I also have the Old Time & Classic Stunt models on a CD.

Unfortunately I've mislaid my Stunt Anthologies, (the price of tidying up!), but I seem to remember this Crusader had fixed flaps? Can anyone confirm?
In my wildest dreams when I have nothing else to do, I think I could be tempted to build all the C/L stunters called Crusader.

I think the Crusader had moving flaps.

It was the plane in the late 50's MAN article on learning to fly stunt. Maybe it was Claire Sieverling. Excellent article, even today. Not much has changed, except the newer piped engines.

I just happened to have the plans from the aticle on my personal directory here at work. Got them scanned in as JPEG. The plan shows working flaps.
