Hey all,
I just posted 3 new plans, all by Ken Willard:
The Peanut SE5a
(This plan supplied by a fellow RCU 1/2a fan, Sean Toomey)
The Scorcher
and The Pageboy. (From Gene Rock)
Also, a couple little 1/2a Hydros (boats, also from Gene)
All PDF files. Enjoy!

EDIT: Note the Cannonshot plan is still sold by RCM:

I have a rule about giving away stuff still being sold by a legitimate source, which is.... I DON'T.
I figured that since it was published full size, (like the LS and the Pipsqueak), full size plans were not available.
The Pipsqueak listed in the RCM catalog is a Dave Robelin 25" model, not the Walt Ressig "Pylon Racer" on my site.

Dave,

Thank you very, very much for the effort you put into making these plans available to all of us. Even though I know I will never have time to build all of them that are on my "list" it is a treat just to look at them and remember when they were new.

The boats bring back memories too. I remember trying to build the Top Kick but not being able to complete it because I gave up after trying to deal with the sheeting. But I do remember chasing my precious Atwood outboard (I think mine was air-cooled but I wouldn't swear to it) that I had mounted on a board down a branch of the Housatonic river. I never had the nerve to run it again and it "disappeared" with most of the rest of my modeling "treasures" when I went into the Army.

Ah, the memories.

Raymond has pretty well summed it up -- your work is much appreciated, especially by some of us that remember when the planes came out.

Regards,

the "other" Andrew

Once again Dave, you've done us proud.

Do you know when & where Ken Willard's SE 5A was originally published?
Thanks,

Boberos:
The May 1977 issue of RCM.
I rembember seeing it in the RCM in the High School Library. The subscription they had to
RCM was the only thing that got me in there.
BTW, nekked_man_2000 sent me the scans for the
Se5. Thanks Nekked, I finally got them posted!
And thanks Gene Rock for getting the SE5 text on 2 pages instead of 5 like I had it originally.
