Rabbid,

Plane is a "Thunderbird"... kitted by Hobby Barn in the early 80's..... sort of a EU1A clone.... except it actually was bigger!!....

Joe Gross did design this one. I got to see him campaign the plane with the Webra long stroke. He was a very consistent flyer. The square manuevers were awesome.

Ed,

Nope - this one looks like flipper, but I've got one that is really called a "Flipper". Also classic pattern plane, for a .61, and actually mine looks less like a dolphin than this one does [8D]

Have a great weekend!

No dorsal fins on that (fish) bird, just two large swept wings.
I plan on putting a Webra 61 long stroke with B&D ent. pneumatic retracts in it.
Anybody with pictures of a Thunderdird, i would love to see them.

Phil
