Plans for the Parkhill Mystery Tailess

This is from a xerox that Al Backstrom sent me. He found it in the April '40 Flying Aces. The fotos in the article are unreadable.

He built a CO2 foam version and reports that he had to add a fin. This problem can only be worse with a big ol' rubber prop up front. You might want to install larger fins to the tip of the rear wing as you build it.

The 3 degree incidence on the rear wing is essential.

The little blurb at the top of the page of the Flying Aces Article begins  "Experimentation is the life of progress...". So consider yourself warned.

I have added little scales so you can scale the plan to the original (more or less) size.
