I am looking for information on a stunt ship named the "Patriot" Pictures, plans, source for a kit, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

It seems to me that there are two:
The one that I am familiar with is Classic legal, designed and flown by Jerry Phelps and recently published in Model Aviation?

Jerry flew the original as a Team Member, I believe?

We have the Kostecky Patriot here in Northern Virginia and then there is Jerry Phelp's Patriot. Which one is it that you want?

There is still another one called the Patriot that was flown by Greg Zajack. This too is Classic legal. A very pretty plane.You might post Att. Greg Zajack will you post your Patriot on Stuka for me.

Gordy,
I think Greg's is the same as Jim Kostecky's.

Zajack's Patriot has one of the most superb canopy jobs I've ever seen. It is an absolutely gorgeous ship!

I am a retread, - I did C/L in my youth and did not know what I was doing then other then having fun. And not much has changed.

This is Jerry Phelp's Patriot which is derived from Jim Kostecky's Formula S to quote Mr Phelps.

I think Gordy is right. Greg's ship is a different version. Try as I might, I cannot find my photo of it, however, I found an old VSC photo with that ship partially IN it.. (Sorry, I was photographing the beautiful Lark behind it in this photo.)

Notice the difference in the rudder shape. And the canopy, barely visible, is much further aft. The reason I remember this ship was its outstanding canopy, and I was virtually SURE it was a Patriot.

That said, it's been established that I may be senile, so someone come forward to correct me if you please.
