Default RE: Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???

Funny you posted a picture of the low wing Red Arrow. I have the high wing trainer version made by MiniCraft (I guess there were two versions of the Red Arrow from the same company). Its a mid to late 80's ARF with the exact same trim scheme shown on the wing you posted (even the same text style). It has a flat bottom airfoil and its a sheeted foam wing. If you go to [link]http://www.minicrafthobby.com[/link] you can see a picture of the Simpli-Fly 40. It looks exactly like the Red Arrow I have sitting in my barn except for the covering scheme. I wish I could tell you how it flys but I havent flown it yet. I built it about 10 years ago but never got around to flying it. Now i'm getting back into the hobby and its on my list of planes to fly as a first gas aliern trainer. From what I remember it went together fairly well, aspecially for a very early ARF. Ill take a picture of it if i remember tomorrow. I even think I still have the origional box.

I need to go through all the old planes I have lying around. Anyone ever hear of a "sporty 40"? (you don't need to answer that)
