Long-time modelers with a knack for useless trivia may remember this one. It was actually published in RC Modeler (June 1992).
Built purely for fun while with Sig, I flew it a few times at Sig Field then shipped it cross country to my Dad as a Christmas present.
Seeing it again
brings back a couple of funny memories. 1) The model was nearly done; the last step was to glue on the little canopy
onto the top of the wing. It needed to line up with the "fin", so I bolted the wing to the fuselage. Long story short,
that's when I learned that thin CA can travel really fast and go everywhere... 2) When I brought it out to Sig Field for
its maiden flight, my buddie's wife said she had never seen a model airplane with a butt. Ouch.
