Vaughn Brothers Buzzard
I'd like to thank Tim Stelle for sending me the plans and patterns for the Vaughn Brothers Buzzard.

The similarity to the Pterodactyl is unmistakable, especially its overall shape. Wonder which came first?

The resemblance to the Pterodactyl is far too close for me to accept it as an "original" VBros design IMO. It's more like a more junior knock off of Enerjet's glider.

Eric, Agreed . . . 100% . . . The "Buzzard" was an "homage" to the Enerjet "Pterodactyl", at the very least ! Dave F. |

Amazing shots! Wherever did you find these archive photos? I assume one of the guys was the kit designer/developer?
