When I first saw this thread it got me interested in just what a T does, hence the T can thread I started. With all the different shapes and sizes of them I thought about trying some on my Epic, but the fences had also crossed my mind.

I don't remember exactly, but in 07 or 08 at the Nats I was lucky enough to be at the right place/right time when a classic pattern plane showed up at the hotel. It was going to go into the AMA museum, but something fell through. After some discussion with the owner, I ended up with it. When I first saw it, the 2nd thing that caught my attention were the fences on the fuselage. Now this is a mid-70's design, but purely unique. So what was the 1st thing that caught my eye.... it is a Delta wing. Now, before I knew who designed it, I thought is was just someone's attempt at pattern who didn't care about actually doing anything that looked like pattern. Once I found out who designed it, I started to wonder the why's of everything. I didn't get to ask Nat Penton everything I was curious to know about when I talked to him about it, but I plan on getting it flying again at some point.

Thank you Alex for your testing of all these set-ups!
