RCU member ''Sound-barrier'' from the Netherlands, mailed me a set of Blue Angel plans that came with a MK Blue Angel kit that his dad built many years ago. During my discussions with ''Sound-barrier'' about the different variants of the Blue Angel he encouraged me to add more information about them to my thread. For the next few days I’m going to post what I’ve learned so far and share various pics that have been provided to me by RCU members following my build. I do not consider myself an expert on the history of the Blue Angel so feel free to add any information you might have.

Gents,

Process of idea to first prototyping and realization of the useable result is going on, also for the “controller”(picture2) of post 722, a process of years. Normally only the result is interesting for you when you can buy it.

How about this process of the realization of a champion model pattern plane. Thinking about the Simla-Taurus I am also interested in a comparable plane, there is one.

Some keywords:

Designer and builder did look to the real airplanes to have a visualization of his new plane.
Both were Mr. Ka
The development period was a project over several years and prototypes.
The designer and builder never became a world champion with the plane himself.
After the first kitting of the plane after several prototypes it became world famous

What can we learn when we look to the stories of these two airplanes?
There already is done a lot of organized work before the realization of the plan, kit or ARF before you can buy.
Believe me these planes did not drop of the air.

More to come

Cees
