wee Devil for F/F and R/C Retro RC LLC announces its latest addition to their product line-up, the wee


Devil, a high quality, precision laser-cut kit that is available in both a F/F and an R/C version. Adapted from the 1971 “T” tailed Little Deer design by Jack Allen, both models have a poly-dihedral wing with 29-inch span and 121 square inches projected area. The F/F version can be expected to fly like a scaled-down Shulman Zomby, with a fast, near-vertical right-spiraling climb followed by a long, slow left-circling glide. In fact it soars so well they


recommend using the de-thermalizer for every flight, so you won’t lose it. The R/C version also can climb vertically and soar, but is better suited to slow flying at a reduced power setting using a small electric motor. The ¹⁄₄A wee Devil comes as either a freeflight (gas or electric powered) or


radio control (electric powered) kit. The F/F version powered by a pee wee 020 weighs 3.6 ounces, giving it a wing loading of only 4.3 ounces/square foot. The R/C version, which is AMA ParkPilot program legal, weighs about 5 ounces giving a wing loading of only 6 ounces/square foot. These kits are truly complete and quick to build. Both kits contain more than


134 self-jigging, precision laser-cut pieces of high-quality balsa light ply and aircraft ply, a complete hardware pack and two sheets of colored Esaki tissue. The easy-to-follow instructions are photo-illustrated, making for an easy and quick build. All you provide is a flat surface to build on (pin-board not necessary), glue, dope, sandpaper, motor, battery, electronics and a little know-how. The F/F kit is $43.99, and the R/C kit is $47.99, plus shipping and handling.
