Al Clark maxed out the potential of his Flyin' King by adding floats, a dropbox, and aerotow capability.  Better yet, he  thoroughly documented his modifications with text and photos so he could share them with all of us!  The wealth of information here is staggering.  Click the pic above to see much, much more...





Doug writes:

"I had a phone conversion with you a couple of months ago and I wanted plans for a smaller version of the Flyin' King and you told me that you did not have any,  So I did a little copier work and here is the result...  A 50-inch wingspan (King Jr.) with an OS FS30 4-stroke, and a 34-inch wingspan version (Baby King) with an electric motor in it.  I haven't flown the new ones yet but will let you know how it goes."






"Hello Bruce,

"At about this time last year I ordered the Flyin'King kit. I am a physics professor at a college in  Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The model was built over the last school year by eight girls ( six are present in the picture) under my supervision.The included picture shows the result.

"It has flown successfully in late May of this year.  We enjoyed every minute of the building and flying of the model. The quality of the plans and the quality of the wood is unsurpassed.

"Thank you for such a good kit.  Regards,

"Tom Donato
Departement de Physique
College de Bois-de-Boulogne"
