    Bill,
    I assume this was an original design.. Do you still have the plans? Any details?

    I still have original 70″s plans of F1C model my father flew. Riser Miser.. on Cox 15 (Shel Myers design). still have the model completely intact Silk covering, etc.. . that’s when I fell in love with FAI. flying 7 rounds, chasing across corn fields … etc.

    Charlie, The only thing I have are photos and the ’57 Zaic yearbook. I can see it has a flat-bottomed airfoil. Clark Y section. Using some fuselages for models I still have of his, may be able to draw up a set of plans.
    This model was lost in Germany.
