My first "real" R/C airplane was a Falcon 56 which I enjoyed until it went to the great balsa pile in the sky. I now have an old Skylark 56 (with EK Logictrol) and would really like to get a copy of a set of plans for both of these planes. Does anyone have or can make plan copies ?

I have an original falcon Jr with plans and would be more than happy to have copies made for others. Was there ever a Skylark Jr equivalent ? There are also some unbuilt Comet/Sterling models in the closet and those might make good electric park flyers.

Yes, there was a Skylark Jr, in fact I seem to recall it haveing the option of being built as a twin engine plane. That WAS a beauty, wouldn't mind having a set of plans myself, but then I have too many other things going on anyway!

Very interesting. I certainly would like to try that design with two engines. Wonder if the Skylark 56 ever had a set of plans with two engines ? I've been out of this hobby for a while and didn't even know there was a Falcon Sr (which I assume to be larger than a Falcon 56). Of course, that begs the question ....was there a Skylark Sr ? They just have such classic pleasing lines, like an old Chevy 5W pickup. Guess it's me being 60+.

Hi Chuck,

That is a very informative site and it looks like most of those models are coming down the pipeline.

As an aside, and since you are in GAMA, did you see that I did finally find a use for the tail section of Edwin's plane which crashed during the "cut the toilet paper" contest.

You can find the falcon 56 pretty easy. I have bought and sold a lot of them. Watch the market place and ebay. The skylark is harder, but they show up time to time.

Good luck.

RCM plans service also has plans for all of them.
