Well, I found a couple more OT's, in an unlikely place; NorthEast Sailplanes. Yes, we know this company for their extensive line of ARF Gliders, E-Gliders, Aerobatic models and Trainers. But they recently added one OT ARF (in two versions) and an OT Kit, that's right, unbuilt, or as some like to say, a box of sticks!
The ARF is the Coronet 400, the "scale" version is a balsa rendition with polyhedral, built and covered in transparent iron-on. It has a 53.5" W.S., Wing area 464 sq/in, weight 23 oz, wing loading 7.2 oz/ft, with a flat-bottom wing airfoil. It's listed as using a "Speed 400" motor (not included) but I'll bet few are flown with that powerplant! Price $ 159.95.
NES also sell a Coronet Acro version, this has a flat (no dihedral) wing of 56" span, 518 sq/in, weight 25 oz for a 7.0 oz/ft loading. Flat bottom airfoil, suggested power is a geared or brushless 400. Price $ 149.95.
Now we come to the kit. The model is a remake of the well-known Cleveland Kit model the Li'l Viking. Wingspan 50", Wing area 315 sq/in, weight 18 oz, wing loading 8.2 oz/ft, airfoil "undercambered" and is designed for a "Speed" 400. It may also be flown with a 1/2A glow motor and is SAM-Legal for 1/2A Texaco competition. The wood is laser-cut, it comes with hardware and both (laser-cut) electric motor mount and Cox motor mount, sponge wheels. Price $ 59.95
