Feel free to carry on sending in plans etc, but if you are waiting on an answer to email, this might take a while. Thanks, Steve.

A very nice modification. I have always loved V tails and BOT's so this combo looks great. I'll keep flying my std BOT, but a V tail version will be high on the build list !!
Many thanks for sharing !!!

Does anyone have a scan of the original plan? This one looks like a recreation or perhaps a different version (?) as the wing and stabiliser tips are different to the box art and the model shown. There is also detail lacking around...
Ian Salmon : Nimbus (oz5589) : 14/04/2026

Doh. Got it. Fixed now, thanks :)
SteveWMD : Skeeter (oz16692) : 14/04/2026

Beautiful restoration of the drawing. Almost art quality; quite attractive. I think there is merit in attributing the model to Granger Williams as the drawing claims. Seems appropriately similar to other designs of his.
Tim Larson : Skeeter (oz16692) : 14/04/2026

Photo 004 is of Mr. Dhrouin with an enlarged version of Libellule for RC, the span being 186 cm.
Jean-marie Piednoir : La Libellule (oz7494) : 13/04/2026

Hi. Here is a up sized (10%) version. Mine is 220 cm wingspan with an Super Tigre 3000 in the nose. Weight is 8.5 kg.
Best regards from Norway,

Hello Outerzone, Attached photo is my Beat on 50 f3a model, captured 24 years ago in a flying event [pic 004]. Thanks,
from Canada
Xinran Xu : Beat On 50K (oz6316) : 13/04/2026

Indeed some interesting find. Let me mention the Graupner Cumulus 2800, which also has a very similar fuselage and maybe shares the same cabin. It would be nice to know more about this obvious collaboration.
Hubert : Libelle 2700 (oz16690) : 13/04/2026

Have added a couple of excellent gallery pics here [main pic, 003], thanks to JMP. These are from the aasociation Antik Modellflugfreunde Deutschland e.V. (AMD for short) and appear here thanks to their kind permission, and indeed Doro who...
SteveWMD : La Libellule (oz7494) : 13/04/2026

Definitely. I thought of a scaled down homebuilt P-51D at first, but the Spinks Acromaster is it.
Martin K. : Master (oz16687) : 13/04/2026

It just looks like the Graupner Cirrus from about the same year .... an other cockpit, and presto!
SvdBrug : Libelle 2700 (oz16690) : 12/04/2026

Page 3 of the PDF file shows the root section of both the wing and stabiliser.

Here are photos of my Cicada [main pic, 005-007], built in 2025 directly from these plans. My only change was to add a platform to hold the horizontal stab. It files quire well and the rubber band engine mount is effective and convenient.
Nat Seavy : Cicada (oz2279) : 11/04/2026

Hi Mary, I have just finished a Veron Panther [main pic, 004-007] once again from your fabulous plan collection.
I remember seeing the kit box in a hobby shop window around 60 years ago and when I saw the plan it sparked my interest in...
John Lewis : Panther (oz10691) : 11/04/2026

Motors are Surpass C4260-500kv, props 15x8 on 6s 4000mA , esc 100Amps.

Tom : P-82E Twin Mustang (oz6016) : 11/04/2026

Hola, buenos días. I can't see the wing profile or stabilizer details on the drawing. If you could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Regards,
Javier : Flicka (oz1305) : 11/04/2026

Inspired by the Spinks Akromaster
Pit : Master (oz16687) : 11/04/2026

Tom, What spec motors and props did you use?
