I think that was AS-07 ?.

Okay ... but based on what, exactly? We know that the Avions Stark AS-07 Stabiplan glider design was of Nenadovich-style staggered box-wing configuration (as per the later AS-37). [1]

By contrast, the "New Look" machine images posted by @sienar appear to show a shoulder-winged monoplane - with conventional, constant-chord wings wire-braced from kingposts. Lateral control came from those underwing inverted 'park-bench' ailerons. A conventional-looking vertical tail is visible (but, alas, we cannot tell whether there were horizontal tail surfaces).

I see no similarity whatever between this "New Look" ultralight and the AS-07 glider.

That's AS-07 my dear Apophenia.

I refer you to the 3-view drawing of the Stark AS-07 glider (top right, 3.png) in your own post #33.

Hello everyone,

I need some help here. I'm building an RC plane based on the Nenadovich wing and Andre Starck's planes using it. Not sure if this is the place for this question, but I passed through here when I first went down this rabbit hole so I figured I'd try.

I had my first maiden flight with a pusher version I just built. I have the ailerons on the top wings as opposed to on the wing fences like Starck had on most of his designs due to need for simplicity in the build. I found that I would lose some or all roll authority if there was a gust of wind or if I slowed down. I still had pitch authority (no rudders) and was moving straight along so not stalling. If I picked up speed or went into a dive I got control back.

I was reminded on the Starck kit plane how there was a version that had the props in between the top and bottom wings. I know this was because of safety concerns with the props being right next to the pilot in the first version.

What I'm asking here is this: is there any documentation out there in the world about the plane and some of the design and aerodynamic considerations Starck had in designing? I'd like to better understand the engineering so I can make improvements on my design.

If this isn't the proper place for this question, can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
