I ordered the Mr Slick plans as a "maybe someday" project, based solely on the picture in the RCM plan book, its size, and the designer. I don't have the book in front of me, but the size is about the same--looks like he wanted to make some updates and design changes while retaining the larger size. The Mr Slick is a tail dragger, and has a vertical rudder hinge line. I wish I could tell you more, but the plans are still in the tube--I haven't broken them out to study them yet. (I almost looked them over last night, but got involved in building the Altair fuse(s) instead. If I would have known you'd be asking, I would have made sure to look).

My general feeling right now is that I like the overall looks of the Altair more, and I'd probably make some cosmetic changes to the vertical fin when/if I build it. I'm looking at the article I'm sending to you tomorrow, and the wing area of the K.A. is 860. The clipped wing version is probably around 825 in.

The Dart III was ordered as a possible SPA ship because of its large wing area and span. It's sitting there in the same tube with the Mr Slick.
