Does anyone know of any plans ever published for the Sullivan foam wings that used to be sold. I have a set of these foam wings waiting to be sheeted, but sure would like to know if any plane was ever designed for them.
Thanks,
Frank Schwartz

they were a generic replacement that could be used for many pattern planes at the time,by trimming the center section you could adjust the wing planform from a tapered wing to a double tapered wing etc..kaos ,banshee phoenix are the ones that come to mind but there were alot more

Hi Frank,
I remember there was at least one airplane designed to use them, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's name was/is or which magazine it was published in? I want to say RCM, but???

They inspired me to design my first successful competition fun fly airplane in 1976 called the "Overdose", or O.D. (short for Original Design ) because (for that time anyway ) it had an overdose of power and control surface area, etc. etc.
I shortened the wings to 44" span, it was also 44" lomg, and it had a pumped K&B .40 for power. Weighed about 4 lbs.
Won several competitions with it in '76-'77 [8D]

I got a set of these wings from you (IIRC ) a few years ago...wanting to re-create that airplane...unfortunately, I haven't gotten to it yet...
