Direct submission to Outerzone.

Quote: "Another 'plan' I don't think you have is the Swift by David Boddington. It isn't really a plan, as the fuselage is only half shown, the rest is just dimensions. And the wing used is an MM moulded wing, which has long been out of production (but I'm lucky to have a couple). The MM wing is, however, just a foam version of the Ghost Rider (oz7697) wing, so it is easy to build a complete Swift, albeit you'll have to draw some of the plan yourself and use the GR plan for the wings.

The Ghost Rider had a larger wing chord, but the prototype used a similar construction to the GR, so if building it, you'd need to use the wing section shown on the Swift plan, but with the construction of the GR.

The other thing I've heard from Shaun Garrity is that the Swift isn't a great flyer... he built one a few years back with a Micro Mold wing, which makes it overweight and not as good as say a Ghost Rider.

Cheers Mike"
