Default Flyline Kinner Sportster

Built about a decade ago for a PAW 06, just re-engined and overhauled to take the new Toki 05.

Not sure but it looks vaguely British to me. Austin? Vauxhall?

Lovely job on the Kinner. It reminded me that I have one of those kits in the rafters of the garage. I'd totally forggoten about it until the pics jogged my grey cell. You're using just rudder and elevator? Running the original kit dihedral? How does it fly like that? What's the cube root of pi? Why is the sky blue?

It's a 66 Austin Healey 3000 airplane stand.
Frankly...I can't REMEMBER how the kinner flew! Last airborne a decade ago. R-E-T.
The answer to the rest of your questions:
Because Santa Claus says so. I have a four year old, she asks a lot of questions, and sometimes only Santa knows "why!"

Austin Healey 3000! ! ! ! ! !

I'm totally envious now.

I once asked Santa how to reduce spiral instability in models by altering the CG vs vertical tail volume coefficients and he looked blankly at me for a moment and then asked why chocolate chip cookies float in milk despite being sponge like and soaking up the milk.... I looked blankly at him and we both agreed that there's far too many mysteries in this life to ever solve.

The Healey is my baby...just starting in on restoring a 62 Morgan Plus Four...it will be parked next to the healey, and end up as another airplane stand when I take pics in the hangar...running out of room!

Cookies floating...
Well...are we talking whole milk, skim milk, or soy milk? Big difference.
People often wonder why Santa does not give them exactly what they want for Xmas...fact is, they leave cookies and milk, not knowing that Santa is lactose intolerant and prefers soymilk.

I would not trust Santa too much on aerodynamic matters, he only flies maybe once a year.
