Clock wise flying plane as the plans where originally drawn. The plans shows a clockwise rotation set up because that was the way George Aldrich flew! The idea is that in that direction, engine torque helps keep the lines tight.
51" wing span.... 37" length... FOX .35 or a VECO .29 engine called for.
The file will print a sheet 24" x 95".
See this plane fly on Youtube. Wow, he is good!
File $5.00
This is just one of over 3 dozen plans loaned to me from Richard and Kathryn D. from Alaska to restore, for which I will be eternally grateful for.

Subject: Memorial Day Plans Offer
Uncle Willie,
I hope you are enjoying the holiday. Yesterday I took my four year
old son to see a B17, a B24 and a B25 at the local airport. He was
thrilled to see the B17 that grandpa flew. It was great to hear
three bombers with their engines running at once. I can't imagine
how several hundred would sound as they flew over head. These three
airplanes are at our airport every Memorial Day. I hope it continues
for many years.
I'm getting back into the hobby after very long absence. I've been
flying my 34 year old Falcon 56 all spring. It still flies great,
but that old Enya 35 doesn't like the muffler or the modern fuels.
It should last the rest of the season.
Looking beyond the Falcon 56, I think an Ugly Stick would be a good
transitional plane. So I'd like to take advantage of your Memorial
Day offer and request the Ugly Stick 60/120 plans. I had a hard time
picking an airplane. Your website is such a trip down memory lane.
I have always coveted the Jetco Navigator, but there is little water
for me to fly from, so the Ugly Stick 60/120 it is.
Thanks for the great website
Mike Sciascia
For God's sake Mike! Why don't you spend some money and retire that 34 year old Enya 35.
You got your moneys worth.
Do you want us to pass a hat?
