We changed from a stabilator, as on the big plane, to a regular stab and elevator in consideration of younger modelers who might have trouble with a stabilator. It was a natural for scale, no matter what size, and that's just what the outline drawings are - 100% scale, right off the full-size aircraft plans. Since I was privileged to draw one of the first cutaway illustrations of the plane, I became very familiar with it, inside and out. Called by some the ugliest airplane around, many more think it is the answer to the home-builders dream - especially those of us who want to fly but can't afford to at today's flying prices. Incredible? You bet! Since its conception in 1968 by a veteran aircraft engineer by the name of Bud Evans, the Volksplane has become one of the most popular home-builts to enter the picture. Quote: "Most modeled EAA home-built is our subject for a small, fun-giving control line that can be flown on any school field, basketball court, road cul-de-sac, just about any place, and it's a real scale bird as well! Volksplane, by Bill Blake.
