Exercise Your Pee Wee ! Combat-Like Stunt Wing from M.A.N. 6-61

Here's a quick-build control line design from June '61 Model Airplane News called: "Little Gem". Pee Wee .020 power with an asymmetrically-located engine pod. If I built it, I think I'd try going center line with the engine.

So many cute airplanes...so little time !!!!

I built one of those --- it was my first C/L scratch build. I did scale it up to an .049 size since I didn't have a .020.

There's another one with similar characteristics, and optional diamond or curved airfoil. Also got the plans for a cute biplane called "Queen Bee'...probably gonna post here.

Too cute! I'll take mine with a TD .020 please.

TD or Pee Wee. Which is funnier to a woman? Laughing

Only about $10 now by the case

I was surprised to find that Fox Missle Mist was still available (or a fuel called that anyway). It appears to have 17% (real?) Castor and 24% Nitro.

Maybe add a little Castor to bring it up to 20% which would bring the Nitro down to a bit above 20%

A gallon of Missle Mist is $44 now
