Comment about this model from Aeromodeller magazine:
FOR SOME TIME NOW, we have been of the opinion that what is really lacking in our Plans Service is a design for an attractive control line stunt model to suit the smaller engines. With the acquisition of a pre-production version of the Davies-Charlton Wasp, a .8cc glow engine, no excuses were left - so, voila - the Kittywasp!
The model is based on the Curtiss P.40 Kittyhawk which possesses many suitable features for a control liner, not the least being the 'sharkmouth' colour scheme! Primarily, Kittywasp is designed as a stunter, not a trainer, so care should be taken to select the lightest grades of wood possible, and a fairly powerful motor should be used. However, it is very easy to fly, so a beginner could use 'harder' grades of wood, a lower powered sports engine and still have fun, although the acrobatic performance would be rather limited.
