Virus
A virus is a very small thing, and it is sometimes quite potent. Our Virus is exactly that, with a price tag for materials that will keep Mother from wanting a new fur coat to keep things even. She may even think it's cute (which it is). Don't let the small size fool you; it grooves with the best of them. With adequate power (no more than an O.S. .32 or a Webra .28) it will do the full pattern, including knife-edge maneuvers. Many small models seem to bounce around or dart here and there; Virus is very smooth because of the thick symmetrical wing, with a slightly higher-percentage tip, generous stabilizer and elevator area, and a forward center of gravity. Above all, the model must be kept light to keep the speed down. You can fly Virus in a neighborhood schoolyard or corner lot, if the engine is quiet enough. The model shown is the third Virus I have built; all have flown equally well. The first two were worn out or "done in" by midair collisions; this one succumbed to carelessness when inverted!
