Okay guys, several of you in the Seaplane forum have built models of the Anderson Kingfisher and I need to know which of you considers yourself to be the Kingfisher's MOST DEVOTED FAN.

You'll be sorry if you blow this question off and don't respond.

Okay, I have built two, have an original Champion kit NIB. But, I consider Jerry Nelson the expert go to guy. What's your question? They don't fly well without a lot of rudder and power. They have a lot of inherent drag and you should maintain speed on approach.

Thanks for responding, Chip. Does the Kingfisher need a larger rudder or just more throw for the one it has?

Personally, I feel the size is fine. It just needs a more attentive left thumb. Maybe a tad more throw could help as I don't know how much you are using now. Is yours from Jerry Nelson's plans or RC Modeler?

H5487

They're Anderson plans.

Well, Chip, it doesn't look like anybody else is going to answer my post so I guess you're the winner.

About 20 years ago I had a fleeting urge to build a homebuilt airplane so I bought a set of full-scale Kingfisher plans. That idea didn't progress past the bought-the-plans stage so now I've got these twenty or so sheets of drawings looking for a good home. If you want them, PM me your mailing address and I'll send them to you. There's no charge - I'll even pay for the shipping!

Merry Christmas,

Harvey
