Scratch Built Sport Flyer

 

    A very nice design by Jim Vigani as featured in a 2008 issue of FLYR/C Magazine as a free pull-out plan. This design didn't include a landing gear, so I used an old aluminum gear from Ace R/C's 'Simple Series' half-A hardware kit. I also added a set of balsa wheel pant as well as a couple of 2" wheels. I also added a canopy/turtle deck, wing tips and fin/rudder modification. This gives the plane a pylon racer type of appearance. Finishing was accomplished using the old Dope/Silkspan method topped off with a few cans of spray-on Acrylic paint from your local hardware store. If using glow or gas engines, use Polyurethane or Laquer paint as a top coat.
