Jack Stafford Weekender
Back in 1972 my 3rd rc model was a Jack Stafford Weekender. I remember it was a great flying model. I ended loaning it out and I never got it back. In 1999, I found a kit on eBay, bought it and put it up in the rafters for some day. So last November I pulled it down and started building it and converting to electric power. I didn’t pay attention to how much the stock dihedral was until it was too late to reduce it. Finished it and it flew like crap! So I decided to frame up a new wing with less dihedral and new tip shape. Now it flys as I remember. It’s a blast to shoot touch and goes.
