Default Ideas for a new project
Like we all do I'm thinking about what I want to tackle next. 8178's new thread along with all the other great build threads here, and the fact that the UFO is getting close to being finished got me looking around for an interesting project.

I want to build something that I haven't seen built before (nothing against the popular designs). I'm looking at two right now and if anyone here has any experience with either one I'd love to hear about it. I'd also like to hear other suggestions.

The first is Kraft's Dragon Fli and the other is Dan Santich's Cardinal. The Dragon Fli, AAM 1/71 is later, yet, similar to his Slick Fli which was published in the 11/69 RCM&E. The Cardinal is from the 2/72 AAM and has a laminar flow airfoil. Both were designed to be flown very fast (for their day).

The last two images are of the Slik Fli for comparison to the Dragon Fli
