I have had this one ready for a long time and I am excited to release it.\u00a0 This a contest-winning design by the legendary Herb Kothe.\u00a0 Herb has been flying and winning all varieties of Free Flight since the mid 1940s.\u00a0 I first became aware of this design when Tom Hallman started building non-scale aircraft for Flying Aces Club competition.\u00a0 Tom somehow tracked down the Go-Devil and got the plan from Mr Kothe.\u00a0 Of course, Tom wins with his Go-Devil!<\/p>\n

I contacted Herb and asked if I could kit his design.\u00a0 He agreed and we coordinated on the redrawing of his plan.\u00a0 As per his instructions, I have kept this design to his specifications, with only one minor change (maximizing the wing area).\u00a0 Both the new and original wingspans are indicated on the plan, allowing the builder to choose.\u00a0 The 19.8″ span model features an under-cambered airfoil.\u00a0 You will get one sheet of 1\/16″ parts (including laminating templates) and one sheet of 1\/32″ parts.<\/p>\n

I asked our young modeling phenom, Oliver Sand, to build the kit prototype.\u00a0 He agreed and you may have seen a write-up of the kit and build in the NFFS Digest.\u00a0 While he has not yet had the opportunity to fly this under full winds and contest conditions, he has had short power test flights in the 45-60 second range.\u00a0 His model finished in at 11.5 grams without rubber – quite light, but 15% heavier than Herb’s 10 gram model!<\/p>\n

Here are photos of Oliver’s model.\u00a0 You can now find the laser-cut short kit on my site.<\/p>\n
