RE: Scale olde non-lead sled
Ah, now there's the rub, I've only got the original magazine size print. It's a free flight design inspired by the gull winged full size stuff of the day. Connversion to RC would require some planning, updating and adapting. PM me and let me know your regular email adress and I'll send along a higher res GIF file for you to study along with scans of the whole article.
It's odd but you're right about all the scale designs being large, cumbersome and heavy. There were so many very beutiful early prewar gull wing designs that would be great done in a light air summer's evening style much like the Gentle Lady is. I'm surprised that there's never really been any intrest in that style of glider flying. Perhaps it's time....
