    Re: more owl history

    Nice pictures Shawn.
    I always thought the force arrangements on the Owl designs were
    interesting. The horizontal stab mounted significantly below the thrust line and the wing datum. I've looked at drawing these numerous times to be used as radio controlled racers but I've let myself be scared away by these unique characteristics. They must fly well, they have been very successful with the numerous models built by different people.I guess it's another case of just because it's different, doesn't make it wrong.

          Chris,
          I've done a lot more RC racing in the last 20 years than CLPA. My 2 sons and I have enjoyed a lot of quickie 500 and Q-40. If fact, my wife and I have been going to Reno for the last 6 years and we've both really look forward to them again this Sep.

                Who ended up with the one that was in Midland? I made an offer on it, but didn't get it.

                  If you're referring to the Owl fuse that was for sale in TX, I ended up with it.
