Sorta Kanary

WHEN I SAW Top Flite's Hot Kanary RC model, I knew there was a cute Control Line model possible from that prototype. For the beginning Control Line scratch builder, it has simple, straight lines, two wings that build onto the fuselage without cabane, and racy looks. After doing some research into Bill Warwick's full-size racing Canary, I decided to simplify some areas in order to make the model easy to build, notably around the nose. Also, I adjusted some dimensions in order to waste as little balsa as possible. The result looks quite a lot like the Canary, so I dubbed it the Sorta Kanary.

If you are looking for something other than a profile CL model to mount your .15 engine on, then perhaps this model is just what you've been searching for. Show up at the flying circle with this 1930s look-alike racer and watch the heads turn.
