Envoy
MY MOST-FLOWN competition ship, the Buccaneer 5, had nearly reached the end of its useful career. The fuselage wood was oil-soaked. The ship gained over 6 oz. due to the oil and various repairs. The front end was literally coming apart, and I dearly needed a new Precision Aerobatics machine. Normally I would build a fresh Stunt plane every six months, but I was on a three-year hiatus from building due to job pressures and other needs. My new design planning included reading of both old and new articles from magazines on Stunt concepts and designs. The engine/tank combination and operation concept was adopted from my successful Buccaneer 5.
