Status: offline 		I emailed the editors of RCM to find out whether all the plans are still available. All plans are almost finished being scanned, and all are available. I can't say the same for MAN which can not even supply plans which are only 20 years old. Reasons given were: little demand, mylar not good enough to scan. Too bad. Some great plans are lost.

Status: offline 		I was wondering if any one here has built plan #1052. Its like a seaplane with the engine mounted high up. Thinking of purchasing it. Also thinking of plan#649 (PBY Catalina) and scaling it up for .45 size engines.

Status: offline 		BREGUET BRE 790 NAUTILUS 1052 looks interesting, however it looks like it will have a high wing loading with only 401 sq in2 and a .40 engine but if your up to the challenge. Beside the canopy and engine struts every thing else looks straight forward.

Status: offline 		BTW; It appears to be official...RCM has been sold and most likely the magazine is no more.

However, Plans and books will still be sold.

Status: offline 		I have built a number of RCM designs over the last 36 years, and without exception they all flew very well. Some were better than others, but all gave me much enjoyment. The following is a list of my builds.
Royal Coachman ( built two)
Wayfarer Bipe
Rumplestadt Bipe
Spirit of St. Louis ( Quarter Midget Racer)
Adrenlin +
Square Rigger
Super Sportster Twin
Skywalker 40
4-40 Bipe
Schneider Sport
Leading Edge
Pole star
I am glad to hear that the plan service will still be in effect

Status: offline 		Here's a couple of .40 size PZL P11-Cs I'm currently building from a set of RCM plans. The PZL was Poland's first-line fighter in the early days of WW2. So far these have been a pretty easy build, the gull wing is a little complicated but they went together well. One is for me and the other is for a friend.

Status: offline 		I'm currently working on Don Lowe's Phoenix I from RCM 8/65, a swept-wing, early pattern design. My plans took 3 weeks to arrive, and that's with ordering over the phone and providing a credit card #. I suspected they were in turmoil of some kind, and it appears I was right. I'll be posting progress reports in the Classic Pattern forum soon....Mark p.s. my plans are of fair quality, somewhat fuzzy.

Status: offline 		Ryan,
I just do hope that ur name is ryan b'coz of your model.
i am only 4months in this hobbie and i dont have a trainer. fortunately after 3 crashes, and reading almost everyime about aerodybanics i can already fly without crashing. a few touch and goes made my skill develope a little bit.
the whole pint is: i bought an Rcm magazine the issue was i think 2002 but im not sure, i saw your ryan's rebel which is the real reason why i played this R.C. After three tries of frustrated building your rebel through your plan i decided to look for you through the internet. and thank God i am writing you this letter. i realy need your help ryan. Since the plan in the magazine is realy not clear b'coz there are two pages on it and the sizes of both fuse and wings in differnt pages are not the same thats why i cannot get a perfect top view and side viw during the enlargement of it. By the Way my name is django im 22 years old and im a student here in Silliman University in the philippines. thats why i realy like to build instead of buying ARFs. since it is too expensive here in the philippines. i cant even make an acces to the U.S.A for me to buy there. I realy wish you can help me out with this by sending me the plan of your rebel through my e-mail if its ok. my e-mail is rod_a7@yahoo.com i realy wish you can help me out with this one. i realy find your rebel will be the best airplane for me and hopefully become my new friend as well as you are. Please help me out with this. thank you verry much and i hope to here somethin from you. God Bless and have a nice flying c",)

Status: offline 		I was given a set of RCM Sr. Telemaster plans about 10 years ago. Decided to build it over the 2001-2002 winter. Nice stable flyer.
I intend to make it a tug and mount a sailplane cradle on top of the wing.

Status: offline 		Hi,
I had a rumplestadt also but was scammed out of it by a shady mini storage operator. Do you happen to have plans of it or where I could get them ..RCM cant seem to find record or even remember the plane. I was introduced to it in 1972 by a fellow club memmber who built it and it wa the coolest bipe around...the Knoxville club even had a pylon race for just rumplestadts later in approx 1990 or so, I ran across that very plane owned by yet another club member..and I promply traded him out of it.. but then I lost it in the mini storage scam. I ran across it yet again and

Status: offline 		I have built two and now working on the third one. The first one was the Denight
Special #142 one of there earlier plans. I still have it. It's a quick plane and a good
flyer. The second was Pokey #369. Pokey turn out to heavy and tail heavy and it's
life was short. I think now I could have done a lot better job on it. I still have the
plans maybe try it again sometime. The third a giant scale Taylorcraft #778
that I am working on now and hope to have it done by spring.

Status: offline 		I'm building Mike Pastro's F-18 Pusher 0.40 from RCM plans #1090. Mike Pastro's F-18 Pusher I would like to have it painted like the 2002 Anniversary Edition in my avitar. I do the simplified design, no retracts and mostly flat surfaces for now.
