Just noticed this thread. Here is the Scorcher by Ken Willard. I built and flown one for the summer of 1962. This design ended up being my favorite 1/2A model for it flew like it was on rails. Even placed second in a spot landing contest. The main problem that I had with it was the engine would cut out if I launched it too hard. Pressurised fuel will likely solve this problem.

It cannot compete against current pylon designs but it is plenty fast enough for me.

The PDF file is full size and tiled.
