Anyone remember the MACO Vaga?
 

Looks interesting. Anyone familiar with it? I'd love to have a set of white walls as seen on the box art...

Well..... How was it?

I believe Kavan made the white wall tires. Not very well accepted in the states.

Hi,

It was in "New Items" section of Model Airplane News April 1973 so it is a rather old design.
They writethere "Complete Pattern or Open Pylon kit" so it was also meant as a suitable plane for Pylon racing it seems (not sure in what class - "Open"?).

Yes I had one back in the mid 70's, made it a trike gear,flew great with a 45 on it . foam wing and stabwrapped in card board of some kind, but it worked ok Bob.

"Open" pylon was just that, it was open to most anything you wanted to fly. Formular I, and Quarter Midget both had to be at least a stand off scale of a real pylon racer. A lot of new guys got their start in open just to get a taste of flying around the pylons. It was a fun event and a lot of crazy flying.

Flew 1 for years. Loved it. Rossi 40 (piped and muffled), 2 gear retracts. Have found 2 more and will fly again, when I get time to build. It was fast. Fuse very light, wing (and stab) balsa covered and quite heavy.
