Peter, I think the key point is that your uncle made it! When I think back to my first models, they were KK Camels and the like, and they were much easier than the Cub. But what they certainly did not do was fly! The first model I saw was...

A nice simple sports model, that manages to look different!
The removable, and knockoff-able nose for glider or 049 is neat. It occurred to me that one could also make an electric power nose to swap with the gas 049 nose! And.. as...
JimP : Upbury Convertible (oz5027) : 14/09/2026

Yes, BUT. Challenge accepted, mind I build at galactic pace (very, very slowly) then suddenly fast.
Keith Schiffner : J 22 (oz7167) : 14/09/2026

You say that Bill but when I was about 9 my uncle made a Cub for me to fly in the local park. I had never seen a stick and tissue model before and I loved it. He never bothered to dope it and I don’t remember what happened to it but it...

Saw Mr. Ted White fly his Gringo at the 1971 Nats, Glenview, IL. Pattern Competition. The Gringo had retracts, as did all others. There were multiple Super Kaos’ competing. Mr White’s Gringo was one super smooth flyer!
John Doyle : El Gringo (oz6009) : 14/09/2026

Ok, breaking news, we now have a scan of the original RCM plan coming along. Should be up in 4 or 5 days.
SteveWMD : Advanced Trainer II (oz6657) : 14/09/2026

Photo for the Bill Dean KK Cub [pic 008]. I just built this one for a great-nephew, to test if he has the slightest interest. I suspect that if it had been my first model, I may have taken up fishing. Not Bill Dean's finest hour. A huge...

You might have to hit CTRL-F5 to force a browers refresh on the last 2 pics. To make sure you're seeing them in correct order.
SteveWMD : El Gringo (oz6009) : 14/09/2026

Fair point. Ok, have shuffled the pics around. So the main pic now is the old BW article pic, again.
SteveWMD : El Gringo (oz6009) : 14/09/2026

Sorry, but the airplane in pic 003 and 004 IS NOT an ''El Gringo''. Wings and stab are not double tapered, stab is attached at bottom of tail. fin is wrong, cockpit is much rearwards of the wing, nose is to thin, etc.
El Gringo was a...
RC Yeager : El Gringo (oz6009) : 14/09/2026

Picture of early Ted White "El Gringo" [003, 004].
Jim Miller : El Gringo (oz6009) : 13/09/2026

Here's a pic of a JU-88 I just finished based on the drawings by Jerry Holcombe [pic 005]. Haven't flown her yet, but the pic might add to the plans listing. Hope you and Mary are doing well,
Charlie Fite : Junkers Ju-88 (oz6133) : 13/09/2026

Have removed the RCM article and re-written this page. To try and eliminate the confusion caused by the mismatched article posting. This here plan is not the original RCM plan.
SteveWMD : Advanced Trainer II (oz6657) : 13/09/2026

Doh, my mistake. Fixed now. 9 years later, it seems :)
SteveWMD : Slick Schick (oz9293) : 12/09/2026

Plan says Schick, listing says Shick!

pit : Lake Buccaneer 20 (oz9503) : 11/09/2026

Section B-B on the plan shows that the fuel tank is at the same level as the engine, not below it.
pmw : Lake Buccaneer 20 (oz9503) : 11/09/2026

Thanks Tom. I always like your subjects that are off the beaten path. This is another model I would like to build (which is growing daily). When I don't know. SO many models, so little time.
