Default GNAT

I built this from a plan off Dave Fritzke's web site. It was there a couple of years ago but is gone now. Originally for Cox TD .010 and rudder only, I have it with throttle (Feigao 12mm brushless, 2 cell LiPo, GWS 3X2 prop). Came out at 3.2 .oz and is fun to fly. It shows an 8" top wing and says to clip it down to 7" as test flight prove it ok. I started with 7" and it flys fine.

Can you scan those plans an post them here? I tried something small like that a while back, but didn't have a lot of luck with it. That looks like it would be fun

That was in the November 1964 issue of RCM, published full size
(1 page!). Don McClain designed it (while drivin' his Chevy to the levee..)
Yours looks great hfenn!
