Great! Now I have an idea .... and I need to build this! Plans would be great if they are available. Otherwise I think I can build it from the set posted. Anyone have full size plans?

I saw one fly when I visited the Norfolk group this spring and it flies like a Bislob but it had no glide when the motor stops. The Slob will fly better but the Flounder is a quick build and if flown on grass it will last a long time.

John Tates airplane had a Fox 35 on it, with an r/c type muffler on it to add nose weight. I don't remember if it had the LE notched, but I think there was maybe 5 degrees offset. John may have to drag the plane from its lair tonight and check the details. This design flies faster than a bi-slob, but bleeds airspeed off rapidly when the nose comes up and can hover easily. I don't remember the elevator throws being as huge as a slob, but I may be wrong there.
