I have built a plane of my own design, based loosely off of the 1/2A combat plane called the "Cheap imitation" (by Gene Pape and John Thompson) I built the wing out to 30" span (24" original design), added a full body simalur to Dale Kirn's "Torky" only scaled up to fit wing, added flaps and called it "Gil's Folly". It was a blast to fly. On 42' (.008") lines it would do an overhead figure 8 without going slack on the lines. That's why I wanted to do a intermidiate design of the flight streak, something large enough to slow it down a bit but light enough to fly well.
