Thank you Milt for sharing I have been to the Utah site to view pics / plans and noted Kim's good efforts for the club.
I know one club member Mel / Melvin who was part of the 1/2A movement before it switch over to electric.

Taking those plans I modified it a bit to work better with 1/2A - note the tail moment was a bit short for the size
tail feathers keeping the feathers the same size I elongated moment arm. Will help the plane sit solid in the
air with less elevator throw and help generate acceleration out of the turns into a steady locked in straight away.
Anytime the plane is pitching it's scrubbing off speed.
