Folks, I saw kingaltair's plane fly at Paulding, after the Hotlanta contest and it was a thing of beauty! He use a Saito 125 and it was slow and gracefull. Flew kinda like a modern two meter ship. In fact I think the span is two meters! Probably would be a good first or second plane in regular AMA competition as well.
You saw Cass Underwood put it through its paces, and yes it DOES look and fly a lot like an early 2-meter ship--way ahead of its time IMHO.
To anticipate questions----yes I use a Saito 125 in that plane since it is "legal" in Novice, which is what I fly, and it was necessary since I had to add a lot of weight to the nose for it to balance properly. My other King has an OS .91
