Skinny Minnie
THIS AIRPLANE was my first attempt at building a design to conform to the Delaware Valley Federation ROG rules. These specifications were written by Doug Barber (member of the Indoor Contest Board) with input from Joe Krush (founder of the Valley Forge Signal Seekers and now an avid Indoor modeler). They wanted this event to result in a fun model that anyone could build, fly, and successfully compete with. I think they succeeded pretty well. Skinny Minnie and other models built to these rules are easily built, rugged, fun to fly, and capable of impressive flights. The high aspect ratio wing combined with a small, fast prop makes it easy to control under full power.
