Please reply if any interest in purchasing.

Very nice and I like the thread hinges. I'm thinking of using that method for my Brodak Buster.

Great photo! Great memories. This was the ideal set-up for me. Did exactly what I wanted when I was 10 years old

I cringe at the $53 price, but it sure is a great design for a Trainer/Sport plane. Great to learn the basics of Controline.

Default Looping a Lil Wizard

I had a Lil Wizard with a Cox Golden Bee .049 engine. To loop it, I used 35 ft lines and flew on a hill side where the slope of the hill allowed me an additional 10 feet of altitude to pull out.

Default Lil Wizard

I wanted to build a Lil Wizard to teach my son to fly 30 years ago but could not find a kit in the days before the internet. I still had the instructions from one I built in the 60's so I tried to duplicate it as best as I could without actual plans. The solid balsa airfoil wing is easy enough to make if a razor blade planer is available. It flies better with the TD 051 than it does with the Golden Bee. Good for circles and pseudo wingovers, but not mush else. Too heavy and too stable. I learned to stunt with a Sterling Baby Ringmaster.
