Hangar Rat. Classic simple indoor rubber sport model. Design by Harry Barr, with mdifictaions by M Starick.

The original 1979 Hanger Rat article in MB had the following qoute from the designer:

"Hangar Rat owes its existence to the 'Sig Parasol,' a simple, easy-to-fly, tissue-covered profile model. Having built one of these with a cambered wing, I proceeded to fly it every lunch hour in the hangar, where I worked, until it was so tattered it was retired to a place of honor above my bench. Needing another fun machine that could be built in a hurry, Hangar Rat evolved, using the same airfoil I had used on the Parasol".

"It has been a success right from the first flight, with average flight times under a 20 foot ceiling of 50 sec, with a best flight to date of 1:08 and many flights over a minute. It is easy to adjust and build and will bring pleasure to both the beginner and the jaded R/C nut (like me). It brings back memories of simpler times when modeling was less complex and expensive."
