A classic design by Sven Wentzel which can be said to mark the birth of modern model flying in Sweden. It wased based on the English design "Lincol", and showed some traits typical of many early Wentzel/Vingarna models: the wing and tail surfaces were built as flat "ladders", onto which the ribs were glued and formed to the wanted profile more or less free hand, symmetric stabilizer profile narrowing to a flat plate in the center.
