"Knockabout" -40-50 Sized Pattern

[rcaerobob at cox.net]

Thanks, Jim.   My research has pretty well confirmed that it's probably better than the others. Then I found the Lanier Razor...it has a tapered planform, a little more fuse length, and not that fat, thick airfoil....so it's lookin pretty good.  Comments?
