Socrates,

OK...........will try to fill in the missing blanks. Or rather, I did not know you needed a bit more info, but here goes.....

Ref the World engines 1974-1975 catalog.

The big Cardinal- you got it right.
The small Cardinal (yes, there was a second Cardinal, but it was smaller)- Wing span 47.24" (The 63.78" wing span shown in the catalog is a printing error), .15-.19 engine, 1-3 ch.

The Olympia - 46.06" wing span, .09-.19, 1-3 ch

The Cherokee- 46.48" wing span, .15-.19, 1-3 ch

The Shell Fly B- 51.21" wing span, .30-.40, 3-4 ch

The Skywagon- 52.75" wing span, .30-.40, 4 ch

The Minnow- 49.6" wing span, .40, 4 ch

The Super Star, 62" wing span, .60, 4-5 ch

The Sky Knight, 51" wing span, .30-.40, 4 ch

The Thermul, 80" wing span, 1/2A to .10

The Box Fly- .40" wing span (I think the wing span in reality was a bit bigger), .19-.25, 1-3 ch

The Jr box Fly- 36" wing span (although again I believe the actual wing span was bigger), .09-.15, 1-3 ch

The Box fly 40- 58" wing span, .40. 3-4 ch


Now on to my second World Engines catalog, probably printed in the early 70's . I will only list those ARF's that are "new" to you.

The Cavalier- 63.76" wing span, .60, 4 ch

The STOL- 60" wing span, 1/2A-.10

The Javelin (for C/L)- 30.5 ", .05-.15

The Sabre (probably also C/L)- 35.5", .15-.19

The Proto (definitely C/L)- 35.5", .15-.19

The Five Star- 63.8" wing span, .60, 4-5 ch

I am sure there were many more, but I do not have any catalog info on those. Like the Super Box Fly Series as an example. I know Hobby Shack (now Hobby People) did show them in their ads during the 1980's, so hopefully some of the American viewers can fill in the blanks.
