It sure looks a lot like that Snowflake plan, doesn't it?

Interestingly, the plane my dad had so much success with was based on the Snowflake. I'd never seen a plan for one before and there are many similarities to the plan I have from his plane, especially the size, wing shape and wing structure. The idea was to have a model that flew, rather than hung on the prop.
He eventually got up to 151.1 mph, which exceeded the record for about 2 hours.
