msn jrd, That's what happens when your bored in the shop. I made that in about an hour. Carved the fuse with a razor plane. Wing and tail feathers are cut out of 1/8" ply. Covered in monocote scraps.
It was short lived. I had it on the truck for 2 weeks. Was going down I-40 one day and it started to oscilate. It started to whip back and forth at a violent pace. By the time I got stopped it had bounced of the window a few times and the wings had pulled out of the fuse. I still have it and could repair it but it would do the same thing again. I have been thinking about making another one about 1/2 the size. I think it would stay better.
