Razorback...What you say is interesting. From what I learned, my plane was built by two guys who flew the full scale aircraft to/from Korea. The model was never flown, though (theoretically) fully functional. It was suspended from a ceiling of a den or club room until one or more of the lines broke! If these gents were modelers, I could understand the adaptations, but the tracks that the Fowler flaps ran out from (which are broken and partially missing) are plastic, which makes me think that maybe a few did come out in R/C. Have you seen or heard of how the model flew in C.L. configuration. I'm pretty sure the wings are scale but there doesn't seem to be much wing surface for this heavy bird.
