@Matthewdupreez - thank you for drawing my attention to this. OK... I have a friend who bought a Second hand Sorcerer (balsa Model) which he wouldn't fly. I told him, "do I need to design a foamboard version in a week, just so you can make *IT* and fly?" and He "challenged" me that I couldn't make a Foamboard version. and so it began.
This of course was something I couldn't just leave alone. Like the thread above, it was a plane I couldn't just pass up. It's too good looking.
I promptly went to work putting together the Foam board plans, and then building it. (quickly I might add.) I was taunting my friend, that I would design, build, and FLY mine before he would even attempt a maiden of the already build model he kept bringing to the field.
The build log here has most of the journey. including two maiden flights/attempts.
The catch is, I was not interested in releasing plans for a model built from them, I couldn't show flying well. For some reason, I could get this model to turn right. I have the plans ready (I built from them). They will build a beautiful plane that you can play toss with. RC? the verdict is still out.
My friend, after being shown up in a way, found a good day to maiden his plane and had the same issue I did, and couldn't turn one way resulting in some damage. Not Major, but still damage.
My maiden Flight:
Conclusion - It flies well. if not for the control issue.
PM me if you would like my plans to this plane. And I will get them to you. It is 7-sheets.
