Here are photos of my three racers. The profile Mew Gull was for a class of profile models that originally called for Fox .35's and was eventually changed to O.S. .40 FP's. I also built a Curtiss Navy Page Racer, but it met it's demise at a contest in New Albany, IN. The Napier has a Thunder Tiger .40 which was the best engine of reasonable cost with the 11" props. The full-body Mew Gull has a Super Tigre .40 rear rotor that has been set up for clock-wise rotation. With standard rotation the torque on take off caused most of these models to come in on the pilot.
