EDITOR'S NOTE: Mark Hansen of Portland, Ore., has been working on an unusual airplane for .15 Navy Carrier. Below are his notes on the plane and more pictures.

• Engine: Enya 15 type III, made reverse rotation by rotating the front end 90 degrees counter clockwise, with standard carburetor, and exhaust gate.  I purchased this engine for $9 including postage from eBay.  So it is really a budget affair.
• Bellcrank:  Brodak Roberts three-line with motion reduction.
• Lead Outs:  Adjustable on ground, locked with set screw.
• Wing:  All Balsa with 1/4" x3/8" spruce spar, held in place with two 10-32 nylon screws.
• Fuselage:  Pod and boom (not a profile) with .187 carbon fiber tail boom, micarta engine mounts and fuselage doublers.
• Landing gear:  Dural similar to those for a 35 size stunter.
• Wheels:  1.75" Don's Racing Wheels
• Prop:  7-4 Graupner,  But any 7-4, or 7-5 reverse prop will do.
• Tank:  1.75 Fluid Ounce, Perfect replumbed to be uniflow and set on its end.
• Hook:  Fixed to the aft-most extension of the tail boom.
• Paint:  Sig Lite Coat, as the sanding sealer/and under coat, with Pactra Formual-U for the color.  Applied by Airbrush thinned 25% with mineral spirits.

At the present time, the plane has not been test flown, so it's anybodies guess as to how it will perform.  I have named it the "Orange-Crush", but in the event it is a failure, I will call it the Orange-Crash!
