Back in 1998, I built a little Barracuda Peanut.\u00a0 The plan appeared in the Cleveland Free Flight Society’s “Crosswinds” newsletter.\u00a0 It was a great flyer right off the board; my records show that I won 7 kanones with it that year, in Peanut and WWII, before it was lost OOS in Flint.<\/p>\n

After my previous post about my Stuka and how I really should build another – better performing – WWII plane, I dug out the old plans, modified them and laser cut some parts out of 1\/32″ sheet and 1\/20″ sheet.\u00a0 The largest dimensional wood in this model is 1\/16″ square for the leading edges.<\/p>\n

With a bit of trimming, this should be a great flyer; it already does about 3 left-hand circuits on 500 turns of a single loop of 1\/16″ rubber.\u00a0 With a bit of LUCK, I’ll keep it around for awhile, but I expect it will also go OOS before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

It is 10 grams without rubber, and still needs a tail wheel and radio antenna and wire.\u00a0 All color and decoration was printed onto white Esaki.\u00a0 Laser cutting started on 30 May and the test flights were yesterday (but I did wait about 3 days to make a canopy).<\/p>\n
