Status: offline 		It will take some looking, but if you travel over to the CAD forum, up top is a listing of free plans. From one of the Eastern European, Polish or German sites, you will find a free plan for download of the Curare' plus a few others. The position of the linework on these do not match the dimensions, but beware.

However, with some digging, you wil be able to download and look at the plan within an hour, and get printed out next day.

Status: offline 		Yes, at one time MK kitted the Curare in 20, 40 and 60 sizes. They also did this with the Atlas (Mattlas), Aurora, etc.

I built a Joker 25 with the OS 32 & MK 20 size retracts, and a friend built the Curare with a piped Webra 28 and the MK small retracts. Both were fast, great flying models!

Status: offline 		Wow!
I remember sitting on the shop floor of an older modeler that was helping me out reading his back issues of MAN.
That must have been 25 years ago now!
In the article the author talked about Hanno flying knife edge from one end of the field to the other, turning and coming back...all in knife edge.
Pretty incredible stuff back then.
They also talked about how they got the cover shot shown in the post.
What a memory!
Thanks!
JLK

Status: offline 		Just as an interesting side note..... look at the rudder in the first photo! Who says just a touch of rudder is needed! I knew my plans could not be that far off as I use lots of rudder to hold knife edge. Although speed really controls the amount of rudder needed.

Status: offline 		If I recall the article...It's only been 25+ years....
He was making low and slow camera passes.
I even seem to remember the guy taking pix was up on a stepladder to try to get more level with the plane.
Maybe somebody with a back issue can help us out here...
But I don't think he was making full bore I speed passes.
