Default RE: Illusion

David,

Thanks for the Illusion info. I knew the annhedral was less, but didn't know the wing dihedral was too (though it makes sense). I don't recall seeing an Illusion fly, but I've seen the Tipo plenty. I called for a friend flying in Expert at the 1980 Nats in Wilmington. His had an O.S. .60 RE side mounted on it and it flew like it was ontitanium rails! I have the same O.S. engine, NIB, and I may build my Tipo like that too since he still has his. I know the guys messed around a lot with sideand inverted mounting, but until the belly pan style planesgot abundant(like around 82 I think) it was too much work for me so I sideor upright mounted my engines.

I do have the pics of the Hammer 25 for you. It's more me sitting my arss down at the PC and transferring them to it from the camera, my apologies, I will get it done.
