Dunne type Tailless Flyer
Since I have seen the model on Fidder's green, I thought the Burgess-Dunne Flying wing from 1914 is a perfect candidate for DTFB AND a foam plate Flyer, and Balsa.
As I grew up in New England it 40+ years later discovering some of aeronautics origins were so near where I grew up was exciting (plus the Second powered flight was in CT.) to learn the DBF was the first marine based flight in the US, out of Marblehead, Massachusetts. Also if you didn't know this was Canada's first Airforce plane. (Livery ideas abound here.)
I had foam plates, an exacto and tape on a business trip. I thought ahead enough to bring the PUDart, and so I thought no time like the present:
looking smarter I finally found the Balsa version at Outerzone of the Dunne type Tailless. BINGO!
I will use/augment the Balsa plan to build a more true to history version.
First in Foam Plates for the PowerUp Dart Module, and then for Larger power packs. This bird should be easily scale-able.
I hope you will join in the fun any way you can.
