WHAT WOULD YOU call a model which so totally flies in the face of tradition in both concept and size? It may not be the ultimate Stunter, but I feel that it is the closest approach to that pinnacle yet obtained. The design of this model has been developed over several years of extensive testing. Except for the part of my as-yet unconfirmed airfoil discoveries, most of the aerodynamic design of this Stunter owes its inception to the genius of Bill Netzeband, with whom I have been working closely for years. The quest which Bill and I have been on is to get a Precision Aerobatic model which will actually do a 5-to-7-ft.-radius corner (as per the AMA rule book) in the square and triangular maneuvers. We have definitely proved, both by photographic and advanced optical-measurement techniques, that no previous Stunter can even come close to turning that 5-to-7-ft. corner-no matter what it may look like to the naked eye of a judge or observer! Ridiculous (R) can do it with ease and consistency.
