Vargo-Wock: 32 inch wingspan oldtimer
Vargo-Wock: 32 inch wingspan oldtimer
This Lou Vargo's answer to Wally Simmer's Gollywock. Lou was a contemporary and rival of Wally's and developed the V-wock to compete against Wally's famous design. The influence of the Gollywock can be seen in the name and the design. This kit is designed to go together very easily and builds straight and light. My prototype is a great performer see videos here and here.
This long old time rubber stick kit comes in three variants:
Bare bones - includes all of the sheet wood plus all of the fuselage cross pieces precut (all you need to add are the longerons and the leading edges for the wing and stab). Also includes the forms for the wing tips and pre cut wing spars. The kit does not include laminating wood for the wing tips and does not include a plan (you can buy the digital plan here and print it yourself).
2. Standard kit: Same as above but includes plan and laminating strips for the wing tips.
3. Full meal deal: 1 and 2 combined plus a kit for a pre formed laminated prop that you must complete.
Plans: You can purchase the kits with a printed plan or you can purchase a digital plan from the digital plans page here
