Very interesting article, I live in Desford and I've been looking for a plan of a either the Snagasher, Desford or Bobsliegh, I did see on the internet that Dave Chinery had designed a model of the Snargasher, Here is a description of the model specification in Dave's own words copied from the internet
Span 64" Unusually for me, the structure is all wood - the only foam in it is the pilots! Weight about 6.5lb 2 x 300W outrunners on 3S 2200mAh each, turning 10x5 props. Static thrust about 1:1! The full-size was apparently aerobatic and the model definitely will be!
Is there any chance that the plan will be published in RCM&E?
Regards
Mick
