Sweep Streek.
Andrew built this model as a caricature of a small full-size American racer called Hot Canary which now resides in the EAA museum. it is unusual in that it has a reverse stagger wing. The model was enlarged from a M.A.N. magazine plan some twenty years ago but with a `Bonanza` type"V" tail which Andrew thought might be a good idea for tugging gliders as the towline would go through the V of the tail
This proved to be not a good idea!!! as the model lacked adequate yaw control for landing so it was subsequently modified again to a much more attractive format with a conventional tail !!
It is mainly flown as a fun sports model as its handy size means it can be transported fully assembled so is ideal to take out for quick fuss free flying.
