RE: Boxer series Back Again!!
For those looking for Boxer information:
The Boxer design comes in four different sizes; 45, 60, 90, & 120. The Boxer series of aircraft are plans built balsa fuselage and foam core wing and stab. The stated goal of the original company, Salient Designs, was to provide state-of the art aircraft in an affordable package that an average builder can construct.
One of the strengths of the Boxer design is that they are very economical, easy to build and are rugged which provides a bid advantage for fliers in entry or lower level pattern classes. Rather than spend money for an expensive pattern plane kit, the flier can use his money for better radio equipment or engine components.
These planes have proven repeatedly to be contest winners, therefore have witnessed ever increasing popularity. Rick Allison won the District 8 FAI Championship in the early 90's. Just recently as two years ago, the Intermediate category at the 2002 NATS was won by a Boxer 60!!
