Good Flying

looks very nice. Any further info, such as span, area, wt., WHO built it?
Looks like it ought to be light enough to fly well.

Awesome!

Is that the Kirk Mullinex design?

I love it!

The owner is Steve Foster

We are trying to contact him for further details.

Keep you posted.

Good flying

I got the impression from Steve Foster that this is his own design. I did see one of these in Switzerland, and word was that it was a Bob Palmer design. I said I did not know this design of Bob's, and was told it was a converted R/C design.
Last year I went to Duxford Museum, and saw the U.S. Air Force display, - fantastic. While there, a full size Corsair landed and folded its wings. Like being in a time warp.

Hmmmm...

I just found a few issues of "Flying Models" at a garage sale and just happen to have the Novenber 1978 issue here on my desk. Guess what?

There is an anticle and plan for Jack Sheeks Corsair Stunter! It dosn't say what engine is in the plane but it looks like a. ST-46. I like it!

Also, you might want to check out Ebay Auction #5903707941. Several magazines dedicated to US CL Stunt International Team members. (Hunt, Rabe, etc.) So far, no one has entered a bid!
