Good looking Vargo-Wock, Jim. Hope you can hold on to this one.

Interesting biplane idea. Necessity is the mother of invention.
If you want a sneak peek (low res) at the Vargo-wock plans, you can see it here compared with the Gollywock plan: http://www.sam1066.org/nc1208.pdf

No ... you can't buy a copy of the plan, sorry.

However, I'd be happy if you'd accept one.    I do have a spare copy in the 'extras' roll so all I need is a postal delivery address .  Send me a PM with it?   Right now there's a postal strike looming in Canada but I can mail it from Geneseo in about 10 days time.   

I assume that you have the 'Hepcat' in your SBF file?  Twin fins, too.   A delightful performer; lost mine years ago but don't think I ever had a photo of it..  The 'Aeolus' you already know, I believe.

Holding back?  Nothing really, just have my own Mulvihills here.  Smaller one has over 10 years flying under its wings and is starting to look its age; the larger is still not fully trimmed in almost three years due to various problems such as a soldered shaft joint failing at full torque and demolishing a fuselage.  Hopefully finally trimmed out at G-town.  There was a similar one years ago that was viceless and good for over six minutes in a dawn event; I kept it for flyoffs but finally lost it when it d/t'd into the fast flowing Genesee river.

Last year I 'donated' my Vargowock oldtimer to a VERY wet cornfield; I had no desire to go into it after 36 hours of continuous rain so didn't install the tracker - otherwise I would have been committed just to retrieve that.

Just completed a replacement in time for - hopefully - trimming at Geneseo week after next.      66gms including tracker (sans batteries) .
