I saw Ray Harlan with some 07 models at Lakehurst on Labor Day. I don't know if he is in production yet. The model was really simple - rectangular wing with a rib at each dihedral break and one in the middle. I've got a solid balsa wing started. I know it's not legal but if it works I'll cut some holes in it and cover them with Mylar.

I'm posting the LittleSquare plan in case anyone wants a copy. It is a great flying model!

  My SO canard (butt first (;-')) actually flew across the living room
  - so maybe it has a possibility. I need someplace that isn't a wind
  tunnel to fly it. Anyway, for a first shot it does look promising.

  Bill G, have you noticed that there is a dirth of '07 legal models so
  far, vendors are still selling Sorcerers and that vintage ?

  I/m playing with something new (to me), warping thin plastic, like
  notebook dividers, around a can to try making a decent prop.

  And got it down to 8 gms - still with a 2.5 gm prop.
