David,

The first aircraft is an original. I was just sittimg around with an extra OS 46 AX and decided that I wanted a sport/pattern plane for that engine, so I sketched a picture of what I wanted and then drew up plans for it. The air foil is fully symetrical. I basically drew a center line on the aforementioned Sterling Fledgling airfoil and mirror imaged the top half to get the ful symetrical airfoil. And since the Fledgling was also a great flyer I used its dimensions to create the over all results on my original. I have not flown it either, but I am sure it will do well when I finally do get to fly it.

PS- Along with the OS engine, it is equipped with a seven channel Futaba 2.4 system with dual aileron servos hidden in the wing.
