Twiggy
TWIGGY IS AN ultra-simple stick-and-tissue model that flies well. It is designed for the modeler trying his first built-up construction and the experienced modeler wanting some sport flying fun with a minimum of construction time. It is ideally suited for all classes of beginning modelers. The article is mainly about a conventional tractor model but details of a canard version are also included. It is recommended that the tractor be built first. The canard is for someone wishing to do some experimenting. The propeller-nose bearing unit of rubber-powered models used to be a rather difficult construction task. Twiggy avoids the difficulty by utilizing the plastic unit from a #600 North Pacific Star Flyer. The canard version drawing shows how to build up a nose bearing if one prefers.
