Hi David,
You have supplied lots of good information....Thank You. Where can I see some pictures or plans for the Escape and Great Escape? And you said Scott has the Escape canopies. How do I contact Scott?
Thanks again for your information.
Best Regards

JC,
If you are interested in the Escape, read through this thread -
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_82..._1/key_/tm.htm. You'll see a couple of posts by "billtulsa". That's Bill Cunningham who made this model popular and contributed many mods that really woke the plane up. rainedave posted CAD drawings of the last mods Bill made to the Escape in that thread.There's also a picture of Bill with his Escape toward the bottom of the first page. I have a paper copy of the plans but not an electronic copy.
I'm also attaching a photo of four Escapes at a contest during the 80's - the orange and white one is mine. It's one of two I built over the years. As David mentioned, they did tend to come in pretty heavy. Much of that was due to Joe Bridi's wood selection, not to mention the fact that the plane was grossly over designed IMHO. It could have been built much more lightly.
You can contact Scott through his website -
