Hi, was hoping people might be able to identify the following two planes. They were my dad's ....

The yellow free flight looks like a Super Sniffer or just a regular Sniffer.

Sniffer? I'll have to start looking for plans for that in the multitude that I have to go through... at least now I have a name to go on!

I found some information on the wing, It was a build article in a 1969 or 1970 model airplane news, Its called the Dactyl and was a .40 to .60 sized pusher prop flying wing. One of the first really flyable flying wings made apparently. Doesn't appear that a ton of them were made based on the few pictures I've seen... plans are still available.

The Sniffer is available in two sizes, a 1/2A and a larger version as a partial kits from "Bob Holman". Nice products and good wood in my experience...have one of his Goldberg Sailplane partial kits.

Also a large Sniffer at "BMJR"...again great stuff and I think this is a complete kit...have a BMJR Dakota, very nice complete kit.
