Default RE: Super Lucky Fly II

This thread needs pics! Here are a few of my Little Super Lucky Fly. I took these just minutes ago after hanging the plane up for display. For the last five years it was on my storage racks on the walls, wings in one place, fuse in another. I need space so I hung this faithful old bird up. Now my sons and I can admire it...the plane maidened in May 82 and is older than my 2nd son. If it looks a little different, it is! I only had a used K&B 40 for it and was scraping by in those days, so I shortened the fuse and the wingspan a few inches to make the plane smaller for the engine, lol. It worked though, and the plane flew great in Denver where the air is thin. I added a subfin and enlarged and reshaped the rudder for more control and less coupling in KE...I don't recall if it worked, haha, but it must've been ok since I flew it that way for years. I had to add that crazy onion muffler later for noise restrictions at another club field in another State. Oh, that is a Royal 40 in it, which replaced the K&B 40 that just got worn out.
