SPAD

Simple Plastic Airplane Design

SPAD Dominator

This is the Dominator.  While the Dominator is not our first design, it is the end result
of six months of changes and evolution that finally perfected our early design
attempts.  Our original design, the dogfighter (may it rest in peace) had rudder only
steering and lots of dihedral.   It flew well, but after many months of trial and error,
we decided that the Dogfighter needed ailerons, so behold - the Dominator was
born!
