Midget Mustang
With a .40-size four-stroke engine and lightweight building as per the plans and instructions, this semiscale Radio Control model is amazingly versatile and forgiving in flight. Last year I designed and built a lightweight sport Pattern model called the Swallow which turned out to be a really fine flying machine. The Swallow, along with a lightweight Scale Taylorcraft built by fellow club member Harry Stewart, became the inspiration for a contest we called the 3 1/2-lb., Four-Cycle Challenge. The rules called for a Scale model weighing not more than 3 1/2 lb., with a wing area of at least 450 sq. in. and powered by a four-cycle .40 to .46 engine.
