"AFTER 46 YEARS, the 1/2A Streaker is back!"
With that bit of marketing flash, designer Dick Russ, of Dick Russ Models, recently announced
the resurrection of one of his classic 1/2A kits, the Streaker.

This model was originally released in roughly 1975 under the Allied Products brand.
With an approximate wingspan of 35 inches, it was originally designed to be powered by
a Cox .049 or .051 engine.

Brad, I have not shot a video yet, but plan to do so. It flies well with the TeeDee, but I stilI need to attend an issue that causes the plane to stall when landing....maybe the tuned pipe should be removed to reduce weight and thereby also move the CG a bit aft...maybe I need to increase somehow the angle of attack on the wing which is a bit more problematic....or both..
