The AllStar"![]() 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. |
The "QUADRATwirl"![]() From Al Foot, via Gene Rock, is the QuadraTwirl, an electric autogyro with TWIN twin rotors. Full article, pictures and construction plans. |
The "Twirl"![]() Also from Al Foot, is the Twirl, an electric autogyro with twin rotors. Looks like a ton of fun! |
"The Papillon"![]() 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. |
"The Pizazz"![]() 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. This one prints out in lots of tiles, so be prepared to do some taping to get a working plan. |
Thanks Gene for cleaning up my CAD work and generating the Acrobat files for the Papillon, Pizzz, All Star and Queue Tea for me! |
"The Jr. Skylark"![]() 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 GLH (Goes Like He**!)"![]() The George Kurreck "GLH". 2-4 channel micro radio. |
"The Pacer"![]() The Owen Kampen "Pacer". 2-4 channel micro radio. |
"The Mach None"![]() And later, the Mach None by Ken Holden (I think). 2-4 channel micro radio. |
The "Guppy" 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! |
"The Jr. Falcon" 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. |
"The Super Pacer" 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.

New and improved, a tiled Acrobat file of the favorite old Fred Reese Littlest Stick. Updated by yours truly and by Gene Rock. Gene has modified the tail, the airfoil, the fuselage, shown a modern micro proportional radio, etc etc. Get it right here! This is the plane kitted by Ace R/C as a rudder only, and published by RCM back in the late 70's. I had previously added a bit to the wingspan, removed the right thrust, reduced the wing incidence, & added an elevator. Photo of model built by Steve Polles, IIRC!

Hints:
Scan between 400 and 600 dpi.
Scan in black and white (bitonal/binary) not greyscale, and definitely not in color.
Look for a "line art" setting, or "black and white drawing". Avoid photo, halftone, or any "color" settings.
Tiff ( .tif) is a good format for this kind of stuff.
Experiment! Play with the brightness and contrast settings ecpecially.
