This weekend I was at a swap meet and came accross a NIB Super Curare. It was not an MK kit but it did have a nice fiberglass fuse and decent wood with the kit. Who can tell me more about the design? Is it SPA legal? Did Hanno develop it? I never had heard of it and am curious to learn more about it. The seller wanted $325 for it so I passed, but am still interested in knowing more of what it was.

Never mind. I should have done a search first. Found several posts that describe most avail details.

Interesting classic pattern airplane, but no Tipo in looks! (IMHO)

Hi,

OK, but could You tell us what You found, in brief? Or link to posts that tell us more about Super Curare.

It appears it was a kit company's spin off (Hobby Barn/Quality Line) of the Curare. Hanno did not develop it. It is not SPA legal but cetainly would fit with BPA. Best description I found was this:

"I am positive its not the Curare. From the pics I'm pretty sure its the Super Curare from Hobby Barn (Quality Line). It was a Curare with a reshaped nose and fin."

Here is the best photo I found from one thread...

I'm Jeolous... that is a beutiful flying Airplane. I had one that i flew in the 86 Nats in Lake Charles. Had a (and still have) the OS 61FSR and Mac Pipe. I used Dave Brown main retracts and Goldberg nose retract with Sonic? actuators. I may be wrong on the actuators... used Auto laquor and came out at about 7.5 #. used the light MK wheels.... it flew best with 11x7 1/4 top flight prop..... used it in Intermediate pattern. flew FAI pattern in concursos' enMexico tambien.... It met it's demise in 1987 at a fun fly where i was doing a demo and a kid turned on a transmitter he was using for a buddy box.. Have fun wtih it... wish i could find one as well some day.... Or a Tippo or FK Curare... FK made some good ones but called them different names.....
