Thanks Michael. I poked around a bit and found a little more info on the [link=http://www.clstunt.com/htdocs/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=103&topic_id=35679]John Pond Plans Collection[/link].
I've always gotten good service from the AMA Plans Service, but I think this is some sort of record. I
mailed in the order for the Tiger Tail plans on Monday and they arrived
today, Saturday! Less than a week! I'll have to give the AMA an A+ on this one!
After staring at the UFO plans over the past two years, the thing that caught my eye right away on the Tiger Tail plans is how short coupled it is. From the wing leading edge to the stab leading edge it's about 6.5" shorter than the UFO. It's interesting to see how pattern airplanes evolved in just the 4-5 year span between these two models. This will be fun model to build.
About two months ago I ordered a set of Southern Pro (aka Pro Line) retracts from [link=https://www.dbproducts.com/index2.htm]Dave Brown Products[/link]. At the time I had no specific model in mind for them, I just wanted a set before they became unavailable like so many other "classic" era products. Well, since they were designed by Ron Chidgey guess where they'll end up?
