Bonanza Profile
BACK WHEN I was learning to fly the Stunt pattern, one of my favorite models was a profile Cherokee. It had a trike gear, and it hung out on the lines so well. That was over 10 years ago, and the memory still remains. I must have burned five gallons of fuel before the thrill of inverted flight caught up with it. Ever since the Cherokee bought the field, I've wanted to build another model just like it, but I have a hangup about building the same model twice. I couldn't get myself to build another Cherokee, and so the search began. It wasn't a long search, as the Beech Bonanza was the obvious choice; but the butterfly stabilizer kept my interest at bay. After building a few Stunters with anhedral in the stabilizer without much loss of control, I finally decided the Beech deserved a try.

THE ONE THING German engineers in the earlier years of aviation never seemed to have to worry about was orthodoxy. One has only to thumb through a book on German warplanes to see what I mean. They have tried almost every configuration and type of construction known to mankind. Just how they sold their strange designs to the War Department is beyond me; but most of these odd and eccentric World War II designs were built and flown. Some even made it into production.
