Stunt Wing

Details

In the March 1955 issue, MAN reported; “Toughest stunt pattern in America is the Mirror Flying Fair in New York. The winning plane must be tops. This is that ship.” This plane, designed by Harold “Red” Reinhardt at age 22, was built just to prove that flying wings can fly precision stunt – and to try out a few other pet theories. One of the biggest troubles was the tendency to stall, which to overcome a balanced elevator was employed. Another trouble was insufficient wing area on most ships, which made them wide turning and too fast for stunt, Construction is quite simple following the step-by-step procedures.
