Default Dave Boddington BIG FLAPPER

The Feb 72 American Aircraft Modeler magazine published the plans for a 70" span high wing called the Big Flapper. The design was by Dave Boddington and the plane in the article was powered by a homebuilt 60.

My dad scratched one at the time. I remember it as a solid airplane.

Has anyone ever built one? How did it fly? Airfoil was semi-symmetrical.

Never seen this model, but David Boddington is a regular contributor to the British aeromodelling press and has designed literally hundreds of models. You should be able to get in touch with him through the AMI website, www.aviationmodeller.co..uk.

Happy Landings

David Davis
