Jerkline Special

Bet you haven't seen this one before. It is a Bill Neitzeband design that was published in 1962. I found it on Barry Baxter's control line plans website. It looks so much like the early sixties I just had to send for the plans and build the plane.
The wings are covered with K&S orange silk. The finish is a traditional dope finish.
The engine is an MVVS 21 (.21 c.i. & 3.5 cc).
The tank is an old 4 oz. Perfect #11.
The inside wingtip is painted yellow for visibility. It turns out that black flying wings are hard to see.
This thing is a lot of fun to fly! And it is different-don't you think?
