Hi Leonardo;

Happy New Year's greetings to you from the always warm 'Valley of the Sun'; [Phoenix, Arizona, USA].

On seeing your request, I did not know what a Dem. 22 was, I remember the great movie, 'The Magnificent Men and their Flying Machines', of about 35-40 years ago, and the the French pilot flew a Dem. So I looked up on the 'net: Dem. 22, and what showed up was the movie version, so I was on the rite track. Possibly the best RC version of the said Dem was published by Flying Models Magazine in their September, 1969 issue, a beautiful model designed by Vern Zundel, at 1/4 scale, and powered with a .29 glow engine. The plan # for this model is CF173 and is still available from FM Magazine. The plans even show how to construct wire spoked wheels for the model.

If you would like, I could scan the above FM article for you to look at, and possibly you would want to contact FM and purchase a set of plans, or download their plans catalogue.

Also, if I remember correctly, Model Airplane News magazine featured a small Free Flight plan for the Dem, a long, long time ago, maybe some of the other readers herein can remember when.

Well, that is all I have to contribute rite now, let me know if I can be of further assistance. There, a'nudder problem almost solved, who's next! Take care, and best regards from Arizona,

Joe Nagy.
