Default RE: What name has this plane?

Hi,

I got American Aircraft Modeler May 1974 issue now and I have scanned the Fakir I (the winning plane) and Fakir II (second place plane) drawing from construction article based onthe AAM Super Design Contest in Feb 1973 issue (see images below). I also found out that Fakir I did fly at the 1973 NATS since it was a photo (see below) in AAM Nov 1973 that covered the NATS 1973 (it say in picture it was Fakir II but that can not be the case, it is Fakir I in the picture).

If anyone want Fakir I or Fakir II drawing in PDF, scale 1/1, that can be sent to print/plot bureau or similar to get a paper plan in scale 1/1 just PM me and You will get a download link.
Remember when printing PDF that scale must be none (no scaling) otherwise the print out will not be in exact scale 1/1.

Fakir I has wingspan 61 inch, Fakir II has wingspan 62 inch. I have checked carfefully that the wing half that is scaledon the two plans are exactly 61 / 2 = 30,5 inch (Fakir I) and 62 / 2 = 31 inch (Fakir II).
Assuming all other parts are in correct scale that will make fuselage and other parts in exact scale also.
