RE: Ariel
Actually Dick's son "Guy" designed the Ariel. I had two fo them. it was a DHM kit and the fuse work was done by Dave Stuart that designed the Jupiter. This model was a 1994-1995 era plane.
The Ariel was a good flying model. I flew mine to the finals in Master class in 1998 and I think Greg Grigsby won Masters class with an Ariel in 1997.
