Any one remenber the Little Swell by Ken Willard
I built one back in the 60's and had a 049 on it free flight, what a rocket ship. Just built another one, it's for 020 not 049. May put small electric or 010--020 in Don't know yet. Any one esle ever had one. Has 33 inch wing, builds in 2-3 nights all balsa cost about $10 or less to build. Would make a great small pond flyer.

RE: Any one remenber the Little Swell by Ken Willard
Yes I do.
I only have the copy of the MAN 6-65 mag article. I hope to make a full size plan from it and scratch build one. I have a PAW 55 or an Astro 010 brushless that should fly it well.
I did a similar thing with another of Ken's designs the Showboat from RCM 11-88.
There have been 2 planes built from my homebrew plan. Both fly well. Mine has flown exclusively on diesel power so far. The second one is flying with an electric.
If you have a spare copy of the plan for the Lil Swell, I would love to obtain one ;^)
Pls PM me at [email protected]
I hope to build the Drake(no ref.) and the Duckling (MB 6-82) some day too.
