Dixielander E-36

The original Dixielander was designed by George Fuller in 1959, and produced as a kit by Yeoman in England in 1960. The original model had a 50” span and is  a Nostalgia legal design. The BMJR E-36 version has a 36” span and  186 sq. in. area, for electric power, and may be flown in E-36 or electric Nostalgia.  We have however used the same model with 1/2A .    George Fuller happened upon the near-perfect configuration for a fixed-surface power model of its day.  With the CG in the right place ( at the wing TE), a moderate warp in the right panel (which is absolutely essential), a fast, safe, spiral climb and a great gliding performance is almost guaranteed.  Launch near-vertical.
