Round Model Airplane

Here’s another submission from George Clark!

I have another for you. This is the Flying Circle. It has a 24 in. diameter wing, if you want to call it that and no rear stabilizer. It was a bit dicey to construct since I had to bend the wing frame into shape. The wing was also flimsy, as a gust of wind broke the leading edge on both sides. I had to reinforce the leading edge and put struts underneath for support, which threw out the c/g. It is now front heavy, so I will have to move back the prop assembly an estimated 3 in. The wing loading is .11 grams/sq. oz! Cheers George Clark
