Default WWI Rogallo Fighter

Well, here is a design that I have been wrapping up of late. I may even sell plans for it if there is enough interest. I'm calling it the WWI Rogallo Fighter (pat. pend), and if it flies as well as the prototype that was much smaller....049 size, it should be a very fun flying plane.

You can check it out here: http://cartoonplanes.wordpress.com/c...gallo-fighter/

I'm at the point where the fuselage is finished, and I'm starting work on the wing construction. The wing will be simply wood dowels with heavy duty black plastic....(think yard bags) as a covering. Power for this funny little guy will be a OS .25.

ZZ.

PS....by the way, there are some other items of interest on the site, while you are there, feel free to lokk around....The Roland CII is still waiting in the wings, and will likely try the sky around the same time as this one does.

Thanks Corio, I'll keep adding updates as it progresses. I hope I had enough serious..(actual scale) WWI planes on there to pacify the serious enthusiasts Foodstick. At least enough to justify my goofy diversion. I have another waiting in the wings thats even wierder....shhhhh.
