Here are ... Dick Mathis Chizler plans from Nov 1966 Flying Models .. they are MPS 42 ... there are is pristine condition
Plane has a 51" WS .. and eligible for Classic Stunt ... excellent flyer ... the original was published in November 1966 Flying models. The model
in the article was originally finished in clear dope over red Japanese
tissue, trimmed with black tissue. Dick flew that model to 2nd place at
the 67 Los Alamitos Nats only a few points behind Bart Klapinski. He
used that same airplane at the 68 Olathe Nats and finished 8th under
some 'adverse conditions'. Dick built some later versions of his
Chizler, one with retracts. All Chizlers that I have seen or had are all
good flying machines. I think they are a testament to Dick Mathis and
his ability to design airplanes that work very well." .... Concerning finish, the original article says: "From this point, you may
go one of two ways: either use a clear, transparent finish, with only
the color of the tissue as a base color, (you can dye the dope with a
few capfuls of colored dope and achieve a deeper translucent finish) or
use a pigmented opaque finish. Either way, don't go wild with lots of
coats — it adds weight. About six coats of clear butyrate dope brushed
or four sprayed will be fine if you want a clear finish like the
original "Chizler."
The numerals and letters on this ship were cut from black Jap tissue by
first drawing an outline on notebook paper and laying it over the
tissue, using a sharp model knife. The numerals should be applied with
thinner after the first coat of dope. My original is a translucent
cherry red, made by doping Stearman red-dyed dope over red Jap tissue.
Other colors might be: Amber (red Jap, yellow dyed dope); Burgundy (red
Jap; maroon dyed dope); Sickening green (blue tissue, yellow dyed dope)
and so on."
"His original is what he flew at the 66 Nats and the 67 Los Alamitos Nats
(2nd place) behind Bart Klapinski) and is the one that shows in his
Flying Models, November 1966, article which was in clear dope over red
Japanese tissue trimmed with black tissue, all clear dope. He used that
same airplane, only with a red white and blue paint scheme at the 68
Olathe Nats (8th place)"

I will add.. pick your wood wisely.. I personally try to keep the classic stunters I build to 38-42 oz .. A Max 35 S will pull 42 oz pretty well but a Fox 35 likes 38 oz... an FP35-40 should be modified for stunt and the LA 46 can be used if you go heavy ... check your weight as you build ..
