Flash Gordon/Buck Rodgers type flying model
Years ago I saw in the back of a RC model type magazine an ad for plans for a Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers type RC model.
I should have bought the magazine and the plans then, but didn't. I have been searching in vein for them on the internet and am having no luck. Dose anyone know of the plans or have an idea who would make this type of RC model etc.
I appreciate you help.

RE: Flash Gordon/Buck Rodgers type flying model
The original was designed as a free flight by Roy Clough somewhere between 1952 and 1954.
Model Builder magazine had a design for RC based on the same model. It was done by a fellow named Skip Ruff if I recall the name correctly. He had enlarged the vertical fin area and some other things to improve the ability to turn and reduce the side to side rocking motion that the original displayed in flight. They published the design either in the late 80s or early 90s.
Sorry that I can't narrow it down any better for you.
