By Capt. Cowan C. Eastham, U.S. Army
Osprey was designed to combine realistic scale appearance with high stunt performance. Outstanding features are the gull-type wings and an oval-shaped fuselage which. along With the open face wheel pants. make a plane that is thrilling to fly and truly fascinating to watch.
She is a very smooth performer on 60-foot lines with a .35 engine. Flight relatively slow. allows the maximum reaction time which I consider necessary to properly execute the manoeuvres in the new pattern. Performance may further be increased by adding 3/4" flaps on the wings. Push rods for the flaps may be installed by using a series of small, bellcranks.
