Eduardo... perhaps the designers intent can be better understood by reading what he wrote as the first paragraph of the article: "Looking around for something a little different, for an out of the rut [fun type] R/C model, I thought a model [based] on the U-2 would look good. When seen, everyone knows it's a U-2 in spite of the fact that [many changes were made from the scale drawings], to make a [simple easily built model]."
RC Yeager : Lockheed U2 : 12/05/2025
The link shows an engine mount with total different technical mechanics. Force point of attack, angle, direction, all this influences the behaviour of the assy when throttleforce changes.
Matzito : Amigo II Magic : 11/05/2025
Agree. The wing chord of the wing plan also doesn't match the wing chord shown on the fuselage side view.
Scaling the plan width accordingly (+- 119.68%) for wing chords to match produces round 2.25" wheels per plan but a wingspan of 52"
KvdB : Jetfire II : 11/05/2025
A beautiful U2 spy plane with no air intakes. It looks very strange, Why the designer do this, I don't understand.
Eduardo : Lockheed U2 : 11/05/2025
Plan looks like plan is out of proportion...horizontally shrunk. The wheels look oval.
thanks

The Mambo was the first RC model I ever flew. It wasn't mine, but my buddy Al's. It didn't fly. At first. We believed the Sterling plans that showed how to modify the elevator position if you had one of the new "lightweight transistor receivers". That's what Al did. Big mistake. My excellent hand launch threw it right into the ground. Twice. Now this wasn't our first rodeo, we already knew how to make a model fly. Previous hand glides had worked fine. Later, advice from Ray Seay, one of my paper route customers, let us know what was wrong, which everybody but us knew. The plans were wrong, and should have been built without modification. It was tail heavy too, and a little weight up front made it flyable. Second attempt finally gave us success, but Al's anemic Fox 09 was barely enough to get it over ten feet in altitude. It ran well just not quite enough, despite our lightweight transistor receiver. A replacement Fox 15 made it into a rocket ship. Al's cure would have made Rube Goldberg proud, an added throttle control made from a rubber toothbrush tamed the Fox enough for controlled flight. In 1962, this was a normal part of radio control. We didn't care, we were Seniors in high school and could do anything. The Mambo did give us some success, we received our one (and only) "A" in English class where we wrote about it.

I just finished building my Spartan and did 2 flights [main pic, 011-013]. What an amazing little model. I decided to go electric, I used a little 100w brushless motor, 18A ESC, 8x4.5 prop and a 3000mah lipo(to get the correct CG). My final weight without the battery was 722g, and with the battery, 950g. This gave me about 45w/lb. I was sceptical, but she flew a dream. After reading the article supplied on outerzone, I decided to lower the Trailing edge of the horizontal stab by 1/8, and it worked a treat. The model was finished with 30micron laminating film and dollar store tissue paper and matte polyurethane. Thanks for the all the lovely plans on your website.
Jannes : Spartan : 11/05/2025
Got it. Grover it is, then. Many thanks.
SteveWMD : Morane Saulnier : 11/05/2025
These are a surprise to me, too. It seems there were a few models in this 'D' series, all at about 8 inches. We have a few more of these plans in the pipeline. Must have been impossibly tricky to actually trim and fly these, I think.
SteveWMD : Air Cruiser : 11/05/2025
8 inches? I thought the 10 inch Comet kits were small. I might give this a try, but perhaps at 150% or 200%. My aging fingers are just too clumsy :)

Does anyone have plans for the Juan or Jason please?
David Hill : Judy : 10/05/2025
This happens a lot, to be honest. I think I’ve lost count now of how many times I’ve seen a different name on the plan from the name in the article. In the end you just have to pick one. Then wait for somebody to suggest which is correct.
SteveWMD : Morane Saulnier : 10/05/2025
Hmm, I may have to correct my correction! The magazine says Grover, the plans say Gordon. I believe the magazine. And a guy named Grover Moore born in 1917 died in Corona del Mar (O.C. CA) in 2005. Could have been a 48 year old guy in that picture! Dave

He may have had a Chrysler as big as a whale, and it's about to set sail. But I was thinking more about the certainty that a one piece model this big would roll itself up unto a ball on its first downwind landing unless the grass was waist high. I guess there is no-one left now who witnessed its flights but I've learned to read between the lines on these old magazine articles. It says it was the 'centre of attention at the 1962 AMA Nats but I had a cursory look on the AMA results and found no reference to this model. Does anyone know better? I'm sure it could be a fine flying model but for FF, a flexible structure would be essential.
bill dennis : Waco YQC-6 : 09/05/2025
Car dimension seems not to be a good reason for removable wings if we consider that 99% of controline sport, stunt or scale has no removable wings since today. And w/s bigger than Waco. I remember in the 70's modeller reaching the C/L field with the stunt model tied on the side of the Piaggio Vespa.

Hope the Adrian Page designed R2 Fun Fly (profile) becomes available too. Both this R2 and the fun fly version were kitted by Hobby Hanger of Hebron KY.
Patrick : Gee Bee R2 : 09/05/2025
An American designer in 1962... probably drove a Chrysler the size of a whale to the flying field, and had a triple-car garage to store his models. But I would have to have detachable wings and rig at the field

I'm looking for a balsa and ply parts list for this build, does anyone have a partslist for the required balsa needed?
Mark Scheer : Me 262 A-1 Schwalbe : 08/05/2025
Common sense would suggest removable wings in order to more easily transport it to flying sites/contests.
D A : Waco YQC-6 : 08/05/2025
quite common for ff or cl bipe, you don't need the access for radio equipment and obtain more stable wing incidence. see (oz3957)
pit : Waco YQC-6 : 08/05/2025
A 45" 27oz one piece FF biplane?
bill dennis : Waco YQC-6 : 08/05/2025
I'd bet the canted wing dimension of 38-1/2 " would better be represented with 88-1/2 degrees (I seem to not have a convenient key for the degree symbol). This canting of the wing is very unique to me.

Mark Storey : Schoolboy : 06/05/2025
The third and last Zipper was released by Comet in 1949. The nose was modified for the modern glow engines instead of old ignition engine. The nose was longer due to the lack of battery and coil weight in order to mantain original CG position. No more removable firewall and Ohllson .23 glow in the plan. Article on Zippers appeared in MAN 1981 Feb-Mar-Apr. If someone have.

Most honest, very rare to see, I Salute you for your honest guidance, especially for the fresh enthusiasts. I am 78 now, very keen on the aircrafts, never built a real flying model, yet ever so follower of such educative sites. You are great! I am in India, Mangalore.

Good afternoon, I have recently built a KK Super 60 [main pic, 004-006] from an original kit from the 1960's, the model was flown for the first time on Saturday 3rd May with great success. A friend of mine suggested that I send you some photos with reference to your code oz15649. The model is built from the original kit using all the original wood supplied, however changes obviously had to be made, ie: reduced dihedral, three channel radio and the covering is SIG Koverall, power is a OS 30 four stroke.
I bought the kit among others when in England in the early 1970's and brought back to Australia in the 1980's, why it has taken all this time to build it is a story far to long and involved for me to go into here, but suffice to say I am approaching 80 years and thought it would make a nice"swan song"
Love your site, keep up the good work

Hi Mary and Steve, please find attached some more photos [013-018] of my SDJ and that of my flying colleague Alan Collins. Here are a few accompanying notes;
"It's been a long time coming but Alan and I finally got around to flying our Super Duper Joysticks at the same club session, with photos taken by Alan himself and also our resident club photographer Jack Pepper. My SDJ (the orange/white one) has just completed 100 logged flights. It's had an engine change, the original OS46AX being swapped out for a 2nd hand OS46FX after the cylinder lining started to peel away and compression was lost. The two old analogue Futaba 3004 metal gear rear servos were also recently replaced with some Savox digital ones as the Futabas had started to become unreliable.
Alan admits his SDJ is "...much heavier..." than mine, as he stuck more closely to the suggested wood sizes - his airframe is immensely strong having survived one potentially serious mishap with only minor damage, but the plane still performs well as a trike layout pulled along by an OS55AX.
I hope other SDJ contributors to OZ are still enjoying their SDJs (Martin and son...?) - I hope to keep mine flying for a good while longer. Would still recommend it for anyone who wants a relatively easy built 60+ inch low wing sport plane with good aerobatic capabilities. Noel Rozelle really got it right - it just flies really well! "
Thanks once again for all your hard work keeping this amazing resource constantly up to date. Best regards,

Pictures of Baby Wing [main pic, 006, 007]. Hi! I just finished this one :) I modified it for electric drive by moving the firewall forward a couple of centimeters. Creates a small battery compartment behind the firewall too :)
Adrian Henkel : Baby Wing : 05/05/2025
I built mine as an RC model (rudder and elevator) powered by a Frog Vibramatic diesel. I added an extra bay to each wing, making it around 52" span. Hand launched it is a wonderful flyer on about 2/3rds power. If doing it again I would add a throttle for the extra urge needed for ground take offs.

What an absurd claim in the article: the Arrow variant of the Cherokee series is "one of the first lightplanes to sport a retractable undercarriage." The Arrow was introduced in 1967 for the 1968 model year! Retractable gear private planes had already been a "thing" since the Alexander Bullet came along in 1929, followed by a whole slew of designs popular in the 30s, 40s, 50s etc. Designs such as the Navion, Bellanca, Beech Bonanza, Mooney were all predecessors with retractable gear. Even Piper had the Comanche in the mid 1950s! I guess "fact checkers" hadn't been invented yet...

Tom Akery is very ingenious at building really lightweight structures. It would be great if he could do a Spitfire as most of other designers efforts are so poor.

Ah ok, fair point. Thanks to Pit. I failed to realise we actually have a plan of the early Diamond Zipper design. Doh. Ok, have added a link into the body text, and will change the main pic here around. Makes no sennse to have that pic of the wrong model at the top of this page. Shame though :)

pit : Zipper : 03/05/2025
I built and flew a Zipper FF model back in the 90s. It was the improved version with elliptical wings and tailplane, and the planked oval fuselage. Power was a Forster .29 ignition engine running on gasoline / oil blend. It did everything that I expected it to do - steep climb and great glide, until it DTed. The only negative was holding on to that oily and slippery smooth oval fuselage when preparing to launch. I still have the model.
David Hill : Zipper : 03/05/2025
After viewing the bones pictures I realized this build wasn't using the cracked rib construction. I apologize. My memory of the build failed me. The wing was built with full ribs between L.E. and T.E. with spars over and under the rib. Thanks. If you don't like cutting out ribs, I highly recommend the cracked rib wing construction highly!
Tom/Sky9pilot : Mig 15 : 03/05/2025
The Diamond Zipper (oz4753) (aka Gas Bird) also has a wing with a constant chord center section
TomRyan : Zipper : 02/05/2025
Fair point. But I really like that it's Carl himself in 1939, and he's smiling.
SteveWMD : Zipper : 02/05/2025
the one in the photo is the first original 1938 design with diamond shaped fuselage.
Pit : Zipper : 02/05/2025
This plan contains detailed wing ribs and fuselage formers. Many kit plans don't carry this kind of information, so I suppose this plan was for the customer to make his own kit. In any case, don't trust these words as absolutely true.
Miguel : Stephens Akro : 02/05/2025
Good question. No I don't think it is, and the small differences are fascinating. This here seems to be a 1939 print from Comet. The plan at Zipper (oz387) is later than 1939, and has been modified and redrawn (re-inked?) perhaps more than once. Certainly it passed through the hands of both Planeman and Don McGovern, and I think they both made changes.
SteveWMD : Zipper : 02/05/2025
I am curious about the date of this one. Can anyone put an exact date to this plan? It can not be from 1939 as it has later modifications (see pic 003) showing comparison to the Zipper (oz16000) plan from Comet.
SteveWMD : Zipper : 02/05/2025
is this not a duplicate of Zipper (oz387)?
Simon C : Zipper : 02/05/2025
Hello,
I'm thinking about building this eonderfull me 262 design as an EDF version and see there are 2 plans, 1 for the V1 and 1 for the A, are the parts interchangable? Both plans have pros and cons and are not fully worked out. The nacelles on the A, missing stringers in the V1, eing to fuse in the A. Wing design and profile are very different. Any suggestions?
Mark Scheer : Messerschmitt Me 262 A-2a : 01/05/2025
I just picked one of these up from the local by and sale. I am wondering if it was a kit or was it plans/scratch build?
Justin : Stephens Akro : 30/04/2025
This model is very similar to the Mach 1, popular at the same time, which has a very similar high speed airfoil. It was famous as being pretty hot, and you didn't want to slow it down too much on landing. Why take a chance, just replace it with something like the Dirty Birdy airfoil from the same era, much more forgiving and a lot safer. Since you have to cut a foam wing anyway, it won't take much effort to make the change.
Doug Smith : Viper : 28/04/2025
Sean, can you add a direct link to the kit? Thanks.

Sean K : De Havilland Tiger Moth : 28/04/2025
Dear Steve, Here is my interpretation [main pic, 003] of Hurst Bower’s interesting drawing. I still don’t understand the original design but it appears to be for uncontrolled tethered flight. I thought of making it free flight with a Babe Bee but I decided on rubber. I designed a lighter lifting section wing which is held with bands as well as having a flexible undercarriage. Built up tail surfaces help with the cg. Perhaps I should have just fitted a Townend ring and not bothered with the tedious radial engine. Yours,

Greets again!
I built and flew this pup very shortly after it was originally published. I didn't have ready access to a decent slope in my area in Germany, but launched with a high-start and winch (sort of). It continuously out flew the high-start at about 75 feet height and also the winch - but considerably higher. Super stable and turns on a dime (literally!). I ended up needing to build about 15 of them for others.
I still have mine, awaiting an electronics upgrade.
Peter Brecker : Predator : 27/04/2025
Hello, you pattern or aeronautical science experts out there can tell me if this beautiful airfoil can perform well at elevations of over 2.600 meters above sea level?
Eduardo : Viper : 27/04/2025
Fixed now, see update, thanks to AlexWeber.
SteveWMD : Nieuport Monoplane : 27/04/2025
I absolutely loved this model. Bought and built the kit here in New Zealand I would say early 1990's and it flew solidly on a Saito 120S 4Stroke. That is, until I started playing around with wing incidences and angles of attack which, sadly I believe, led to it's demise.
Grant W. : Dragon Lady 60 : 27/04/2025
Thanks for the upload, it's a very nice addition to the robbe collection (as is the Marabu 6 b.t.w.)
Hubert : DG-100 : 26/04/2025
When I scanned and combined this plan at the time it was to hand cut, the kit subsequently I converted it for laser cutting, and kits are available via my website https://varlocity.com/
Sean K : De Havilland Tiger Moth : 26/04/2025
Wow! This really has my interest piqued.
But, I'm curious how the 'A' scaled to the same wing area would compare. I suspect it might be better suited to more powerful engines with a smaller stab and a lower AR. Those OT stabilisers can be a nightmare when you add R/C.
Your comments about Goldberg are not surprising. Bob Oslan asked him how the Clipper could've been improved and he said the fin was too big for FF and then told him to stop wasting his time with this old stuff. It prompted Bob to develop the Old Ruler Event where you designed your own model according to the rules in place at the time. Turned out, it was hard to pull anything over on the old timers. If you're listening somewhere: "Carl, stop selling yourself short."
On this Goldberg design, the fin looks too small.

Hi, I have just completed a long awaited build of an old Multiplex Domino kit I have had in the loft for around 30 years. Looking on your site I noticed you have the plans and thought you might be interested in a copy of the build notes that go with the kit. The build pictures are in the German language section, but you will find the English build notes later on.
Have also attached a few pictures [main pic, 005, 006] of the completed model with a more modern power plant. As can be seen there is so much room for a modern RC systems and motor, compared to the old. The motor is a Robbe 2834 850K/V with a 11"x6" folding prop, powered by a 3S LIPO. Installed is a 40A ESC, although I am sure a 30A one would be quite capable for the motor, Multiplex Smart series 5 channel RX and two Savox SH-0255MG servos.
Thank you for providing a fantastic website to help keep these old models in the air.
Kind Regards,

Hello. Here is my new Free Flight Be-2c, powered by electric. The model Be-2c was actually built directly on the Windsock Datafile data - I only discovered the ideal plan for the OZ later, unfortunately. Span is 735 mm, weight about 180g, driven by an electric motor with a regulator and timer, construction took about 300 hours.

Hi, I needed a nice looking small plane for my old Super Tigre X.11. The 'Small Wonder' caught me instantly as I was always a fan of parasol aircraft.
Attached here 3 photos of the finished model [main pic, 006-008]. I can't use the wheel covers as we have a grass field here. The pilot (3D printed) turns his head matching the rudder direction. The maiden flight is planned as soon the weather will be better. Thank you very much for the plan offering.
All the best,

Steve, Here's two pictures of my 1-1/2 size Keil Kraft Ajax [pics 012, 013]. It spans 45" and is 32" long. The wing area is 275 sq. in. and it weigh 312g or 11 ounces. It sports an E-Max CF 2822 motor spinning an 8060SF prop. It is propped to only draw 55W on 2S. It is a docile flyer, but responsive. It was an easy build from OZ plans. Thank you for providing such a treasure of vintage model airplane plans.

Looks like the date on this plan might be around 1935 - see the ad in photo 004 in plan listing Miles Atwood Special (oz13189).
Mike Kelly : Miss Los Angeles : 20/04/2025
I acquired a part-built one years ago, so finished it and got it flying some time ago [pics 008-010]. Mine runs on a 6S 5000, running a 5055 about 400kV, spins a 16" prop. I got servoless retracts in it, which required some fairly major redesign in regard to wing spars (the original plan is fixed gear).
I also clipped the wing tips and put a pointy rudder on it, and then just to really upset (or confuse) everyone, put it in Russian markings. I glassed everything except elevator & rudder, which have a fabric covering. 3D printed exhaust stacks.
Flies well, very smooth and stable, although mine is probably a bit heavy. There's a lot of wood in it, so I would advise any future builders, especially those going electric, to consider weight reduction.
Big enough to have some presence at the field, and add some scale detail as needed. Would make a great first build Spitfire for the budding scale builder.

"In the penultimate paragraph, Peter Chinn says..." A couple of days ago, I had the pleasure of reading an Aeromodeller from 1940. Inside, I found an article by Master Chinn. This gent led a remarkably long career, or else he begat a long line of Chinns who shared his passion.
This Aeromodelling revenant was found in Hip Pocket Aeronautics, courtesy of Don ilgk48.
Miguel : Scorpion : 19/04/2025
Um, the dimensions on this one seem correct. So the 500 mm shown for the fuse length measures correctly. The wing TE is 15 mm wide, as listed. So this plan checks out as to be full size, at wingspan 690 mm. Which is what it says in the title block. Can't speak for the other version, though.
SteveWMD : Anophele : 19/04/2025
In the penultimate paragraph Peter Chinn says “attach the line from the FRONT of the bellcrank to the TOP of the handle”. Note that the elevator horn is mounted at the bottom...
Reminds me...
It was 1963 or 64, I was 10 years old, and had never seen a control line model. Only seen pictures in Aeromodeller, Flying Models and MAN.
My dad somehow located an aeromodelling family and took me to their house. They showed us various models, then did a demo flight in their backyard with a Babe Bee powered c/l Piper Cub.
To my astonishment, they told me to try my hand. Just like that, no dual, nothing.
Now remember that I had only seen pictures of control line models. Digested everything I saw in the mags, and taught myself to fly in my imagination.
I’d seen pics of the bellcrank and the leadouts and figured out that pulling the REAR line gives UP elevator. But I never knew that the handle was held vertically!
I thought one held the handle horizontally with the fingers towards the ground, and turned the wrist away from the thumb for up.
When they gave me the handle, they never said a word about which way was up!
You can imagine what happened. The model took off in a quarter lap and climbed, and my efforts to get the nose down resulted in full UP.
A loop right after takeoff. Fortunately the prop strike stopped the engine, and the model didn’t get damaged.
Later when it was my turn to teach others, I always showed them the stiff arm/fixed wrist method, and how simply raising the arm gave up elevator, and how the elevator became neutral when the model reached the height that the arm was pointing at.
After 62 years, I still feel embarrassed at how my c/l debut went. But I wonder if I had come across the Scorpion plan and article, and mentally trained myself accordingly!

Hy Steve and mary, 1973 for the date. It's is strange... the redrawn plan is a 59 inch for the wingspan.... http://clap54b.free.fr/vollibre/musee/Anophele/anopheleEch1.pdf

Olivier : Anophele : 19/04/2025
Hi Mary, Steve. This one's not really a "multi" engine model. It uses a single engine in the nose, the wing "jet turbines" being dummies. So the "Multi" tag isn't applicable.

Hi Mary and Steve, Here are some pics [main pic, 003] of my Roust A Bout, designed by the late Dick Fors. It was mostly an easy build, but the heavily cambered wing needed care. Covering is good old domestic tissue and dope. Mine is powered by a Hi-Line Mini-6 brushed motor and a 3-cell NiCd battery of 110mAh. Although short-coupled, it is surprisingly stable and flies slowly. No timer or dethermaliser. The battery is part-charged according to how long you want to fly. Electric free-flight as it used to be done! Regards,
Gerry : Roust A Bout : 17/04/2025
I've always been interested in building a model of this aircraft. How could the original designer have known that 70-plus years later there would be micro and mini electric RC park flyers! If one was to double the size of this plan to 36 inches, It, might make a great park flyer! I think I mentioned on the Hobbyzone "AeroScout Only" Facebook page that if one removed the landing gear, added a "hull' conversion piece to the bottom of the fuselage and wingtip floats one would have a faux Sea Bee. Park Flyer Plastics used to make a seaplane conversion similar to what I'm suggesting for the very popular Multiplex TwinStar many years ago. It will take some work, but I'm adding this to my build list to do the above doubling the size and RC conversion of this display/FF kit, assuming I live long enough!

Pal Joey photo [pic 008]. This very attractive single channel model was a free plan on Aeromodeller December 1963 issue. Designed by Bil Winter. I powered mine with a Cox .051 engine and free flight and it had a beautiful glide. Bill Winter was a genius. Always designing models that were very strong, yet easy to build.

Junior Skylark Twin version. I built this beautiful Goldberg Junior Skylark [pic 016] way back in 1966. It flew beautifully with a couple of Cox TeeDee .020 engines and a Citizen Ship single channel radio. At that time, Monokote was still not available so I used silkspan and color dope.

I think grapenut became pistachio. Walnut was larger than peanut, 16" maybe?
Not to be confused with coconut, which had to be carried by a swallow.

Very Nice!
Jan Novick : Boeing F4B-4 : 15/04/2025
Sounds about right, I'll buy that. Ok, have changed that to say 432 now. Thanks.
SteveWMD : North American T-6 Texan : 15/04/2025
I suspect the wing area printed in the plans is a was a typographical error that was never corrected before being printed. I quickly traced out the area of half the wing in a CAD program and measured the area. I then doubled it to account for the second wing. I found the wing to be 432 square inches.
The plans claim the area is 324. That is the same digits, but different order. So I strongly suspect it is a typo.
Joshua : North American T-6 Texan : 15/04/2025
I believe grapenut later got renamed and became walnut. Maybe there was also a special rule about models with very short fuselage, much like peanuts? On this plan here the wingspan measure 8 in. Have set both values to 8 now.
SteveWMD : Waterman Gosling : 15/04/2025
What is a "grapenut scale" model? Model is listed as a nine inch span in one place, but the "About the plan" paragraph states eight inch span??

Hi Tom and Miguel, the my BV-141 is all balsa and tissue. I`ve got build pictures at my website: https://www.delooff-aeroplanes.nl/free-flight-1/blohm-voss-bv-141-open-scale<> Cheers, Ramses/a
The Zephyr was the first rubber model that I lost in a thermal. Covered in blue Jap tissue, it landed in the neighbors yard under the sprinkler. When it dried out the wing was badly warped and I couldn't straighten it. I flew it as it was, and couldn't see much difference. It was in this condition that I lost it to the thermal. I've built several over the years, and have been working on a laser cut version at 150% for electric R/C or electric FF using a Zombie controller. Covered top and bottom, with a couple of gracefully curved spars, it flies great either way. My favorite version is a single surface wing and R/C. It flies incredibly slow in this configuration, perfect for still evenings under the street lights!
https://youtu.be/TGQZhVPAe_M?si=OfKRj-69RBTOjHEc
Yes. Been there, done that Rehab after hip replacement … couldn't sit so built a Lazy Bee. Quite a project. Saved my sanity.
I guess not, it looks like balsa toothpicks and a fine vacuum-formed shell on top. The outcome is smashing! And lighter too.
So use the Wayback Machine.

Hi Mary, Attached are several photos of my Slats [main pic, 003-005. I built it from an original R/N Models kit. It came in at over 100 grams without rubber. It was way too heavy to fly as a Coupe! I then built a stick and tissue fuselage (I also included a photo of the completed model) and I was able to get the weight down to 65 grams [pic 005]. After minor trimming adjustments it now flies beautifully.
Thanks,
Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall --nice!

Simply beautiful flights!
I just finished this one for an ED 0.46 [main pic, 004-006].
Odd, all formers are present but some of their positions are not indicated. Maybe I am misreading?
This is the masterpiece that I have been looking for many years. I wonder how to say thanks for sharing it. Its really thrilling and one of the best design of my favourite style. God overwhelm you with 10 times of thrilling that I am experiencing now. With my best regards
Simply wonderful, that's the plane I like it!
Very nice work! Is the cockpit 3D printed? It looks grayish compared with the remainder of the plane.
Balsa sheet, perhaps? I don't think we need to be too fastidious about materials. It's entirely possible that modellers of yore would have used depron if they could lay their hands on it.
Hello Outerzone. The parachute drop with the Jimmie Allen Thunderbolt (oz11332) works! See the video on YT : https://youtu.be/gm1ZZGS52Io. Attached a picture of the finished model [main pic]. Best regards from Switzerland,
Hi Tom, the horizontal stabilizer is very much enlarged on this buildplan, almost twice as big as a scale horizontal stabilizer. I made the horizontal stabilizer scale size on my BV141 testmodel no.2 The vertical stabilizer is slightly larger than scale on the buildplans, i left the vertical stabilizer the size as on the buildplans. Cheers, Ramses
Beautiful airplane model, I love it.
RE: This BV-141 version No.2 has a scale size stabilizer instead of the very oversized stabilizer on the plans.
Since this design is ONLY 17 years old, would anyone care to suggest a suitable replacement for the DEPRON used in the design? TIA
I left my workshop this evening having just finished painting all nine cylinders for the Mercury engine in my Hurst Bowers Westland Interceptor, carefully modified for rubber free flight. Imagine my consternation to discover Tom Akery's sensible-looking design which just for starters looks lighter than mine …
But maybe I can still be first to fly.
Great job. Thank you.
'Texan' is the correct name for a USAAF operated version, the name 'Harvard' was used by most foreign operators, including British and Commonwealth operators, and when used for training by the US Navy, it was known as the SNJ.
That is indeed a remarkable clean-up job! Very impressive.
Holy cowl Batman! That was an assume job cleaning these plans up Shadow. I've been trying to up my game with cleaning plans which I have a few that are taxing my skills. But challenges make you better. Thanks for taking your time and using your skills to restoring these treasures.
Doh. Fixed now. Thanks.

Hi Mary and Steve, I've got a video of the re-maiden of the BV-141 built from this plans. This BV-141 version No.2 has a scale size stabilizer instead of the very oversized stabilizer on the plans. I also recovered the wings, removed the landing gear and added a bigger prop.
Good Day Mary, I found this photo of Carl in my notes [pic 005]. I hope all is well. Thank you for all you do.
Hi Steve, I have slightly modified the original Baby model [pics 009-011]. I used a full balsa wing, I reduced it a bit so that it is a suitable size for my little granddaughter (wingspan 578 mm). The model flies just as well as its prototype. If you find the attached pictures useful, you can use them. See kit page at: https://www.hiesbok.cz/baby
Hello Steve, If anyone's planning on building the kit, they may find Outerzone useful for plan printing. When I built this kit, Sterling kindly included an 18" span plan. Looking at open box photos, it appears I'm not the only person who received this error. The model did turn out to be an excellent 4ch micro rc flyer however [pic 006], with a good bit of lightening achieved by recutting parts with lighter wood. I set the wing flat bottom surface at zero degrees to the thrustline, with a good degree of positive incidence on the stab, which produced a very stable, hands off flyer. Take care
Cumulus photo [pic 009].
Photos of the Concept Models Travelair 2000 [main pic, 008-011]. I lightened the model by replacing the 1/4 inch sheet tail feathers with the built up open frame, cutting out sections of the liteply sides and lightning holes in all ribs. I live at 5,000 ft so I added a bit more power with an O.S. 52 4 stroke, all efforts combined turned it into a very aerobatic model for being sport scale.
Hello, Please find attached a few photos [pics 0080-010] showing the completed Sea Fury that was built using a copy of the plans available on your website.
Just added a before-and-after image [pic 004] showing the remarkable cleanup job on this one, by theshadow. Outstanding work.
In about 1968, I was asked to give a demonstration of C/L flying at a local fete. As the available space was too small for my big stunters, I quickly built a Phantom Mite from a kit, using an ancient DC Merlin (.76 cc) I'd had rebored by Gig Eifflaender. The rebore had vastly increased the Merlin's power, and the model went like a dingbat on 25' lines, doing wingovers and tight overhead circles ad infinitum. It even had a good enough glide to make decent landings, on grass!
great plan
If I recall correctly, the sheetwood provided in the kit was balsa, whereas the stripwood was basswood.
TonyP, Thank you for using your skills and taking your time in cleaning/fixing these plans. It is very much appreciated.
thanks Steve. way out of my league
Have to build one of these P39s..have mustangs and other scale machines.
It depends. It depends on how clever, how skilled, how experienced you are. And how good a pilot you are. But I think the short answer is no. Much easier to choose an airframe with a lower wingloading.
Excellent. Many thanks :)
Good afternoon, I have attached pictures of my recent build of the Walt Mooney Hyannis Helio Cambridge Courier Bostonian [main pic, 006-010]. Here is a link to you tube videos of it flying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pg-E-bbJBQ
would it lend itself to E.D.F. conversion?
The ribs are incorrect. I have a NIB kit that I will scan. I will also scan the building instructions.
Right. Should have pointed out that too. Thanks.
The canard also acts as a rudder
There is a good build thread on RCGroups by warhead_71 see https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1444193-Concept-Models-Travel-Air-biplane showing this kit being converted for electric power, with lots of good pics (although it's also at the same time converted to look like the 4000 model with radial engine, so different styling), thanks to JeffGreen for noting this.
Kamal... If I'm not mistaken, the forward canard assembly is an all flying stabilizer, not fixed with a moving elevator portion, as is the case with orthodox stabilizers . What your seeing in photos is probably that the all flying assembly was not in neutral at the moment the pic was taken.
In the plan, the flat bottom of the canard airfoil is parallel to the top of the fuselage, however in most flying and at rest pictures of the model there seems to be a pronounced positive incidence to the forward canard.
Got it. Ok done. Many thanks :)
Hi Mary, hi Steve,
I've attached a couple of photos of an MS Dragonfly I've built [main pic, 003]. I've simplified the nose a bit & given it a V-tail which I think suits it more than a conventional vertical fin arrangement. I haven't flown it yet.
I have built an electric Mini Pronto [main pic, 003]. Weight 830 g. It flies fine. My first Mini Pronto was built in 1990, it also flew fine.
I built this model 5 years ago after letting it sit in storage since 1979. It performs very well with the installed O.S. 52 4stroke. I will say that anyone intending to build the kit should they come across one that it is very complete, BUT! Check to be sure you engine will fit within the nose structure, I wound up having to move the firewall back almost one inch to accommodate even an old KB40, neither would an O.S. 46 neither an even shorter O.S. 52 4-stroke would fit. Also, the light ply fuselage sides as given in the kit are not correctly cut for the lower wing saddle as provided. If not corrected the lower wing incidence will be too positive.
Modified Live Wire Champ +windows, ailerons, and wing bolts [pics 012-014]. For your website.
Sir, Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your website and haveing the Drifter by Dynaflight plans. I built that plane while stationed in Alaska in the late 70's if memory serves. Won a soaring contest in the "novice" division with it. Flew it for years when I wasn''t traveling. Then while flying it the last time, I allowed a neighbor boy to take the stick for a short time. End result, broken wing in recovery. Then I could no longer find the kit.
The plan is full size, and it shows a model with wingspan at 55 inch. Assuming that's the size of model you want, then you can simply measure dimensions straight off the PDF plan. You can do this inside your PDF reader ie on the screen, using the 'measure' tool. See help on this at: https://outerzone.co.uk/knowledgebase/entry.asp?ID=106
Hello, Very nice plan. I'll try to make a static scale model one of these days. It's a shame the actual dimensions aren't there. But for a static model, the plan is more than complete. Thank you.

Checking through this, there are some issues with the parts. The printwood file here includes parts from three different models ie D102, D103, D105. But the parts for D103 are incomplete. No wing ribs shown for D103. Have tagged this plan as formers_incomplete for now. Does anyone out there have a better scan of the printwood for this kit? Thanks.
Lavochkin LA 17. I built this model in 1958! Motor :Taifun Hobby RS, 0,98 ccm. Here is a picture [pic 008]!
My grandfather used to tell me stories about those Starjets. He would tell me about the nose art names he saw on them. He often said to me the “Wizard of Outerzone” was his favorite. “Yah Grandpa, that would have been my favorite too!” …But seriously, “Wizard of Oz” on this bird would be pretty cool to see as the design work on this bird began in the year that the movie was released (1939). The design was formally submitted in 1942. …And yes, I did wait a couple days to post this on the 1st of April. …Oh yah, and I recall Grandpa telling me of another nose art name he saw: “Flying Monkey”
Aha, got it. Correct date is Dec 1946. Thanks to Pit and DavidDuganne.

Thank you for putting me in contact with Chris Welch who has also built the Sea Fury using these plans. Chris has been very helpful with advice and information about his build and particularly pointing me in the direction of Vortex Vacforms as the source of a suitable cowl.
A suitable front part of the cowl can be obtained by using cowl number CWR30 from the Vortex Vacforms web-site, with the rear section formed from thin ply as per the plan. A suitable canopy is number CN54 on the same web-site. The model has been modified with a fixed undercarriage for convenience and a battery hatch just in front of the cockpit. It flies with a 4S 2200 mah lipo that turns a 9x6 prop. In this configuration it currently has 100 gram of nose weight, a slightly larger battery might avoid this.
