About this Plan

Lil Buzz. Control line sport biplane model. Wingspan 30 in.

Quote: "Lil Buzz. 60s fun with HC Quek's bipe for .19 power

THE fifties and the sixties - heydays of control-line activity, with the aerobatic, sports biplane a firm favourite. Here's one that nearly got away. Capturing perfectly the spirit of the time, Lil' Buzz dates from the mid-60s and was based on those two famous full-size aircraft, Little Stinker and Little Toot. The original was powered by a K&B .19 fitted with an Enya 19 silencer. Remember those days? Psychadelia ruled, flares were worn and motor scooters had more rear-view mirrors than cc's. Twenty-five years on, get set to carve the sky with this nostalgic sportster.

Motor choice is all yours - dig out those lightweight, stateside glows, or go for modern equivalents. A PAW 249, for example, would be great for loops and wing ovens; a 3.5 glow ensures things will liven up considerably.

Building Lil' Buzz is entirely straightforward, but take care that alignment is correct and surfaces are warp-free. The original featured a wire cabane, but the alternative, wood strut arrangement will attract modellers deterred by the thought of wire bending..."
