Getting back into modeling has got me in a nostalgic bent.
If I recall correctly there was an article and plans for a 40 size SAW outrigger in MAN in the early/mid 80's. It was an unusual design in that the engine was laid on it's side so that it and the pipe were fully enclosed in the tub, the prototype ran a K&B 7.5cc. The drive line had an S bend and ran on the right side of the hull. If memory serves the sponsons were rather small and solid balsa. I don't recall what the booms were made out of.
Does this design ring a bell with anyone? I don't recall the name of the boat and no luck searching Air age for plans.
