Mac-the-Bipe
40" wing span. 38" lower span. Power .35. Chord 9". Length 33".
The magazine article is included too!
This fully aerobatic biplane that could be converted to Radio Control. Even the rudder and wings are all ready drawn to be functional. Simply add ailerons servos to those fully symmetrical wings, and you are going to have one bad arse bipe to fly. So if you stuck in the good days with me, when quality and craftsmanship was important? ,,,, then watch OUT, cause The Legendary Bobby Darin is back in town.
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear

And he keeps it, ah, out of sight

Corsair 40" Wing Span
Hobby Helpers # 1263
WING SPAN 40", LENGTH 32", POWER Fox .59, Control liner ONLY. Plans not suited for conversion to Radio Control.
The magazine article from 1963 is included.
HISTORY: Development of the Corsair began in 1938, when the US Navy issued a request for a new single-seat carrier-based fighter. The Chance-Vought company won the contract with their unique, gull-winged airframe pulled by the largest engine then available, the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp. The wing design was necessitated by the tall landing gear which was, in turn, necessitated by the huge propeller required to propel the plane at the desired high speeds.
The prototype of the Corsair was first flown on 29 May 1940, but due to design revisions, the first production F4U-1 Corsair was not delivered until 31 July 1942. Further landing gear and cockpit modifications resulted in a new variant, the F4U-1A, which was the first version approved for carrier duty.
The Corsair served with the US Navy, US Marines, the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, and the Royal New Zealand Air Force (and later, the French Aeronavale), and quickly became the most capable carrier-based fighter/bomber of the war. Demand for the aircraft soon overwhelmed Vought's manufacturing capability, resulting in additional aircraft being produced by the Goodyear Company (as the FG-1) and the Brewster Company (as the F3A-1). Production ceased in 1952. Over two dozen Corsairs are believed to be still airworthy, most in the United States.
This is just one of over a dozen plans loaned to me from Paul Thoms from Illinois to restore, for which I will be eternally grateful for.
The file will print a plan 36" x 73".

Curtis P6-E
Hobby Helpers # 1157
WING SPAN 31", LOWER WING 25", LENGTH 22", POWER K & B .23, SCALE 1/12
Look closely at the plans. Although designed as a control liner, this plane could be built as an RC plane with very little alterations needed. And I worked all day to design her to print onto 24 inch wide paper because I knew somebody would appreciate increasing the wing span to fit their needs, as only plans will allow you to do.... Hey, I like kits too, but your pretty much limited to what you can do to them in changing size to meet your requirements. So increase the wing span for a larger control liner or RCer. This plan will allow you go up to 150% with NO problems, Cool huh? And no canopy and no cowl to mold. And then I've included color scans of the magazine article from 1957 to boot! Naw,,,, you ain't died and gone to heaven. You just lucky to have an Uncle that is the best. Oh, and a BOM is included in the article. All ready to print out just so you can take Mama shopping! Now won't she be surprised!
HISTORY: The Curtiss P6E was first used in 1931 by the Air Force's request for a pursuit plane. 46 Curtiss P6E Hawks where delivered on June 1931 at the army's request. They were retired from active duty in 1939. The longest surviving one had a service life of only 8 years. It was the last of the fighter biplanes for the Army Air Corps. It was never used in combat, but it is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful planes of the P6 line. It has a top speed of 204 m.ph., a cruising speed of 167 m.p.h., a range of 480 miles, and a 24,400 ft ceiling. It had a wing span of 31' 6", a length of 23' 2", a height of 8' 11", and it was 3432 lbs. loaded. The average cost was 13,000 dollars (I'll take a dozen to go please). The Curtiss P6E was the last of the fighter biplanes built in quantity for the Air Force. It was originally the Y1P-22, but it was later changed to the P6E because it was so much like the other P6 planes.
This is just one of over a dozen plans loaned to me from Paul Thoms from Illinois to restore, for which I will be eternally grateful for.
The file will print a plan 24" x 50".

Ford Tri-motor
Wing span 78" Length 52" Power; one - .60 engine, two free wheeling props.
I now have 4 magazine articles which are also included with the plans.
2 of the articles (not shown below) are for those who wish for "scale details" for their plane. All from American Modeler of course! The BEST magazine ever published in respect to our hobby.
What a perfect project to be converted to electric flight? And this plan could easily be shrunk to be a smaller wing span if you wished. Although, as is, she is just the "right" size for me ;-)
The 2 files will print 2 sheets 24" x 105" & 104"
