Here is a link to the page that I got the picture and name Mannix from. Not to be argumentative...I just wanted to find out where I got the name Mannix. I've never seen it before, but that doesn't mean it does not exist.

Do you think the german site is mistaken as to the identity of the plane?

Thanks

CAsniffer

Looks to me like someone in Germany knocked off the plans and changed the name. I've attached a couple of pictures from Zel Ritchie and I'll get one more bit of "proof" when I scan my Orbit Radio ads from 1966. Zel Ritchie and the Phantom IV were placed in the Orbit Proportional ads of that era and you can see it is the very same plane. Good job on asking as there are a LOT of planes that were, let's say, "borrowed"?? Again, I've got some pics to send you...

I didn't think about it being a knock-off. Those pictures you attached are sharp! (clear) I don't like the way RCU now changes the resolution of posted images. You can still save them to your local computer, but they're too small. Just a pet peave. Nothing to worry about. ;-). In the past, they would ask that the images be 800x600 or less. I remember some pictures would take up the entire screen because someone uploaded a much larger picture. I take all my digital pictures in the highest resolution and resize as needed. Its easy to go down in resolution...up is impossible.
I would appreciate an email with the images you posted to include with all the rest. I keep saying this, but soon I will re-alphabetize all the pictures. I will have to create 4 new pages and copy-paste image and description into the new page. It a labor of love.

Thanks!

CAsniffer

Here is one of my favorite "closet sleepers" from CL stunt icon Steve Wooley. Right before he was killed in a auto accident he designed and built an RC pattern ship called the Mura. It was publised right after his dealth. Nice lines that carried over from his Cobra CL stunt lineage. Someday I would like to build one!

The Mura is definately a good looking plane. I have included the picture in the image-base.
Thanks for the contribution!

Status: offline 		Hi Sean, Do you know in what magazine and issue the Mura was published? Easy to see the influence of the graceful old CL Stunt ships in this design. Thanks, Jeff

Ha! Please disregard, I asked too soon- just found it thru CA Sniffer's excellent Pattern Plane Pictorial website: RCM 6-73. Thanks CA for all your great work in assembling those photos!

Plans for the Don Juan II can be found at the RCM Plans Store. Here is a link:
http://www.rcmmagazine.com/store/store-plans-catalog-tem.html?item=plans:pl-473&sid=0001y2FIl55BjZEjoE2W6w4

I will keep looking for the Hots Elliptic. I don't remember where I got the picture.

Great work. The Eureka Eyeball Mark V on page 2 is actually a J&J industries kit. I am in the process of clear coating one which I purchased for my dad some 35 years ago. The picture on my box is identical to the one you show. Let me know if you want me to take a photo of the box and send to you.

I will also submit a photo the plane when its all put together.

Dave.
