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. 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.
And later, the Mach None by Ken Holden (I think). 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.
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!
