casniffer, the red/white/black plane on page 3 is something I designed and built in the last 2 or 3 years. It is not a classic plane although I certainly copied the classics. It was intended to be a speed/sport/aerobatic job just for fun. I did a build thread in the extreme speed forum:

About 580 sq in, Jett 90LX turning a 10x10 at 16K. Flies the ballistic maneuvers well at 150. I'm flattered you included the picture, but the plane is really just a tribute to the classic ballistic designs.
