The model described in the first post is not a butterfly
You are right, but I think DrCraig is still calling the Dragonfly a Butterfly. If he is referring to a Dragonfly, what improved cabane structure is there?

My bad - yes, the design in question is the Dragonfly, but what stuck in my head was the erroneous title of the thread, "Butterfly". The Butterfly I assume you mean is the Mark's Models/Dynaflite Butterfly, which is a shoulder wing (of sorts) and does not have a cabane. Back in post #20, Tex refers to a change he made in the cabane for his Dragonfly design.
You can see the cabane structure of the model in the first photo of this thread. The plan drawing which shows the cabane change and improvement is what I am looking for.

Here's my version of the Dragonfly. A recycled 2 meter sailplane wing, scratch built fuse and tail, my new Taranus radio and lots of recycled parts and material.
