That's the second reply with a LA-1... Where do I find parts or any details for this plane?

Yep Flywilly

I looked at other post that had LA-1 photos and it does look like the fuse.. now maybe I can find parts or plans to maybe build it or at least sell it!

Thanks!

Sorry if you misunderstood me, I don't buy , folks send me planes and I bear the cost of making a mold and send you your fuselage back. Just to keep all of these old designs alive and available to everyone.

Thanks anyhow

That is a LA-1 designed by Geoff Combs... I flew several of these and then went to the LA-2's I have the plans and manuals and the plugs / molds for both of these planes...

I hope to be manufacturing soon with 20 other classic pattern planes... we are redoing the shop so we can make more room for oven and glass area.

Thanks Scott

Maybe if I decide to keep it I could get the items I need to finish it from you.

I have been to your field in Knoxville along time ago .. that is if it is the one off Pelissippi Hwy over looking the river or lake?

I am a member of the Nolicuckey R/C Club located on Hwy 107 in Greeneville.

Thanks to all that have helped me ID this plane...

Neil,

The LA-1 was a great flying plane, I did mine as a taildragger and had a OS61 pumped rear exhaust on mine.....

it is a easy plane to build !

Yep that is the KCRC site...

Did you mean Mistress? Dave Von Linsowe's design? I believe the Mistress came first. There may be 'Mistress' influence on the LA-1 design as Dave and Geoff are from the same district and probably saw each other frequently at contests. I built 4 Mistresses and there are several differences - the most obvious being the angled leading edge of the rudder on the Mistress.
Keep us informed Scott, the LA-1 was a great flying airplane! Can you produce a mold from plans (for the glass kit) of the Mistress?

Hello every one,

I am finishing a LA-2 Geoff Comps Designe and I do not have the CG on this plain. Also I realice that this plain needs a lot of counterweight to keep it on its tricycle. Is ther anybody who can give me some info on this.

Many thanks

Mike

then go to their document library where you can download the plans for the LA-2
