Hey there Owen, I've given the fold-a-plane some thought, way back when, as a back up plan should things get too hard with the J. I have a rather thick...
looking at the fold a plane reminds me of an idea i was toying with of the J-1 with a chilton style wing. Split flaps and all. Would make it a J-2 with a wing...
