About this Plan

Wild Goose. Free flight 1/2A power model.

Quote: "The great popularity of the 1/2A aircraft is fairly easy to understand. Many a flyer suffers from lack of funds, lack of room, lack of time and perhaps lack of ambition.

The 1/2A contest designs find a great following from busy modelers, who might otherwise not find the wherewithal to complete a ship for the contest season. Often flyers compete in a variety of events, and a simple, easily built design is just the ticket when a local meet hoves into view.

The Wild Goose is a fine, consistent flying machine, with a rather unusual airfoil design. The ship climbs high on a ten-second engine run, right with the competition. It is a light aircraft, and the 'scooped-out' underpart of the wing makes it 'hang' in a nice flat glide circle, just above the stalling point. Sturdy enough for everyday testing and sport flying, and the model has been flown extensively to date.

A full size plan can be ordered if desired, and as for materials, only a few items are required as listed here-with..."

Quote: "Hi Steve!, Here is my last project, the Bill Cowee's Wild Goose, a pylon ff model with an unusual airfoil that I have never seen before [model photo & more pics 003-005]. The plan was published on June 1967 (Flying Models magazine). The engine is my own and more light Cox.049 'version', very good for small airplanes. Best regards!"
