The "Baby Boomer", a little 2 channel powered glider for the Cox TeeDee .010. This was an unpublished plan by Scott Christensen. This plan recreated by Gene Rock then exported to .pdf so you can print it out and build one for yourself. A lovely little plane, Scott did some nice work.
by Joe Wagner. This is an enlarged version of the (dare I call it) iconic "Dakota" for R/C. You may want this additional file on Steam Forming sheet balsa wings. Thanks Joe for letting us share this with everyone.
A very nice twin design by Ken, also kitted by Ace R/C. This plane was originally designed for two TeeDee .049's and 2 channels. Engine out flight was reported to be excellent in the original magazine construction article. Good thing too, as both engines ran until the tanks were dry. My plans show a built up wing using a NACA 2415 airfoil. CAD file drawn & output to pdf tiles by Dave Fritzke.
A popular early Ace R/C plane designed for a Pee Wee .020 and singe channel Ace Pulse Commander radio system. This plan recreated by Gene Rock in CAD then exported in "tiles" to .pdf so you can print it out and build one for yourself.
The Skampy was another early .020 single channel plane by Ace. A sporty little number. This plan also recreated by Gene Rock in CAD then exported in "tiles" to .pdf so you can print it out and build one for yourself.
The Mod Pod, little motor glider that was kitted by Dumas. Another by Gene.
The Minnie Mambo, a very popular 1/2a plane that was kitted by Sterling. This plan recreated by Gene Rock in CAD then exported in "tiles" to .pdf so you can print it out and build one for yourself.
The Lil Esquire, Kitted by Midwest, a very popular 1/2a trainer of the day. CAD by Dave Fritzke, final work to PDF by Gene Rock.
The Lil Tri Squire, based on the Lil Esquire with identical wings and stabilizer, a more appealing 1/2a trainer from Midwest. CAD by Dave Fritzke, final work to PDF by Gene Rock.
The All Star, published and then kitted by Ace R/C. Designed by Romey Buckolt. Great flying plane for .10-.15 motors. AND it flies just fine without ailerons.
From Al Foot, via Gene Rock, is the QuadraTwirl, an electric autogyro with TWIN twin rotors. Full article, pictures and construction plans.
Also from Al Foot, is the Twirl, an electric autogyro with twin rotors. Looks like a ton of fun!
Long ago Hobby Lobby imported this kit from Japan made by Kyosho. It was a "point of entry" plane for lots of us in our 40's. Would be great with a cheap Speed 400 setup.
This is an ARF that was sold by Hangar 9. It was a much loved plane at our flying field, so I decided to "archive" it by making some CAD plans of it. I did move the rudder and elevator servos to the tail and counterbalanced the rudder, much like the Pizazz replacement called the Twist. This one prints out in lots of tiles, so be prepared to do some taping to get a working plan.
Classic design by Carl Goldberg, plans converted to CAD by Gene Rock and presented here as a tiled pdf file. Would make a great electric twin.
The George Kurreck "GLH". 2-4 channel micro radio.
The Owen Kampen "Pacer". 2-4 channel micro radio. The Pacer showed what was possible if a sleek and light enough plane had a hot TeeDee on it.
And later, Ace came out with the Mach None, designed by Ken Holden. 2-4 channel micro radio.
The Guppy is a simple R/O powered glider that was kitted by Tom Runge of Ace R/C, one of the patron saints of small R/C plane lovers. This plan was just done up by Gene Rock. Gene shows a built-up wing, or you can use a set of Ace tapered foam wings if you can score a pair. The Guppy is about as fool-proof as a rudder-only plane can be. Thanks Gene!
An all time classic design by Carl Goldberg. Reed valve COX and an escapement if you are a purist, or a 3-4 channel setup. If you add ailerons, reduce the dihedral by half.
A very nice design by Owen Kampen. .15 to a .28 appropriate for this great flyer. Never published, kitted by Ace. This plan is another fine CAD to multipage pdf effort by Gene Rock.
