Bill Evans made some pretty neat Nitro Powered flying wings back in the day and I’ve had many of them. My favorites are the Astron 40 X Wing and the Simitar 540. Mine is one of the last Fiberglas fuselage Simitar 540’s that he offered. Those fuselages are now extinct and very rare. Plans and wing cores are still available at the address below. Enjoy the sights and sounds as I recap some of the History and how I got involved with Bill Evans back in the ’70s. I am flying this in his honor and to my Dad who recently passed. Dad attended the Multiwing contest with me a few times. Also I tribute Hal Wickman who was a good friend and also recently passed. We built two Simitars together. His survived and I will fly it in this video for him and my Dad.
Best regards.
