I'm looking to build some 1/2a ships this season, and I would like to go with a flying wing design, like a Zagi. I'm thinking of cutting the cores myself, however I was wondering if a 1/2a wing kit exists somewhere. Any ideas?

HI HAVING FUN! If you're thinking foamy, there are commercial 1/2A CL kits that have been flown RC. KITTING IT TOGETHER has a model called the LITE HAWK that could be shortened up to fly as a wing, but I would just leave the stabilator on and go with ailerons. I have some hand cut kits of a constant chord, all balsa plane that has a very low parts count, 36" span, and is a very stable flying wing. It is a good RC COMBAT plane good for 50mph, slow combat.

Sorry for this late entry,
I have been flying Simitars, and have been scaling them down to the 1/2A size with great success.
I am building one now that is a small version of the wiseguy, but have taken the wing and made all kinds of them.
If you can cut your own wings, there really isn't a lot of reason to get a kit.
Lots of good designs out there.

I was cutting stab cores yesterday and it dawned on me that a couple of these stab designs for the classic pattern ships I kit look just like a Diamond Dust!..... I'm going to take a couple of the stabs and using the TLAR principal put on a motor mount/fins and cut out for the rx/servos/batt/ and see what it does.... who knows.. I might have a new SUB KIT>>LOL....getting ready to go to the shop... way to windy here in Carolina to fly... except maybe for my stunt kite !!!

Order you a set of scimitar plans from one of the Magazines, don't know which one carried the 1/2a version, but I think it was bigger than I would have built, but probably flies good like the rest of them. I built a "bugs ear" simitar, .020 version, and used a black widow and it was a blast, but a Norvell or the likes would be very very wicked on this little bird. I have the plans by the way, and they are only two magazine pages wide, I could scan them if you like.

I am in the process of scaling down a Simitar called the Wiseguy. It is a 40 size plane, but I took the plans down to 65%. I am worried that I have built too heavy again, but this plane could be made light enough to fly with a .049. That is shown in the first picture.
The other is a Simitar wing, we made some 1/2A planes around it. This one has been made a little thinner to test out an idea, but it is still almost the same as the other Simitar wings.
They fly really well, and we have changed things around quite a bit with no problems.
If you can cut your own wings, you can build the second one in just a night or two.

I've got about 6[if I remember] kits cut out of this plane, and I wouldn't mind selling a few of them [if the buyer promises to fly combat with them] for $35 each. There are just over 20 or so parts to glue together.

Rick haslam of haslam hobbies makes a wiz 15 delta wing, a GREAT flier on an 074. light and nimble.
