I never saw Art Schroeders original Eyeball but I am 60 years old and
was flying pattern when J&J released the Eyeball kit and I can tell you
without a doubt it was a built up wing....I built two of them and still have
some polaroid shots of the last one. The picture on the Eureka web site is
the original picture of the original J&J Eyeball from the original kit plans
and pictures....tricycle gear and a built up wing. Both of mine were covered
in good old silk and painted with Aero Gloss dope. I have the same plans
represented on this post which I ordered from a magazine plan service which
show a foam wing version. As far as I know J&J never kitted a foam wing
version of the Eyeball nor a stretched version. There were 3 or 4 versions
but the J&J kits were the short fuselages.
