Status: offline 		Anyone have plans for this design? Was it even published in a magazine? All I know is that it was designed by Nick Damuck and was kitted by Master Kits. I've read posts from someone around here who had one, but can't remember who it is.

Status: online 		Dave it was in rc sportsman magazine, March 1978. I just got a pile of these back in the fall from someone off of ebay. The plans are full scale, on two 14X22 (? size). I can try to scan tomorrow and email a copy to you.

Status: offline 		Thanks, Jim! That would be great. I like these smaller .15 size models that fit in the back seat and don't cost a lot to build. Besides, this one looks nice and fast. I'd like to put one of those K&B 3.5 RE's in one.

Status: offline 		David,

I was looking at this one just the other night since it will go up to .19 and I still have a Webra .20 speed so figure it would be a good one. These are still being sold by RCM plans service .

Looks very simular to Peppermint Pattie IMHO.

It reminds me of a scaled down Banshee...(doesn't it? )

Status: offline 		Wow. Thanks for posting, Nic! Your design has everything going for it. Beautiful plane. I'll have to build one.

Is the one in the photo I posted one that you built? It's hard to tell, but the slanted glow plug makes me think that might be a Fox .15 in the nose. I have the c/l version of that engine.

I saw Nick fly it many times on the contest circuit in the Northeast back in the early 80's. I seem to remember Nick using the PP to demonstrate the 'NEW' turnaround pattern at the Bridgewater,CT contest (at the Sikorsky airport) in 1983.
Nick, are you still flying pattern??

Status: offline 		aerowoof, I do a lot of flying with models that don't have landing gear. I've never considered that to be a concern, although these planes I'm belly landing are small and all under 1 1/2lbs.

FWIW, the Peppermint Pattie plans show an optional Belly Wheel. At 44" span and todays radio gear (I'd use HS-81 servos) I bet it can be built at around 2lbs.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you should build it!

Main thing that seems to stick in my mind of the big pattie was that he had one of the original "magic mufflers" on it.. plane was quick, but it had that distinctive buzzzzzzzz muffler sound to it

Status: offline 		I picked up this kit about two years ago after about two years of trying on ebay.
It's a nice looking plane and as David stated with todays radio equipment (and
engines) adding landing gear (maybe even a small set of retract) shouldn't be a
real problem. I'm thinking about adding some type of L/gear myself and use a
MDS 18 or a FP 20-25 for power. With HS-81 servos and a Berg receiver should
make for a light and fast plane.

Status: offline 		Hi Dave:
Used to fly with Nick Damuck at Windingbrook R/C in Rocky Hill, CT. He did in fact have a Magic Muffler style on the big Pattie. It had that Moose Can sound to it. I do have an original set of 15 size PP plans down on the shelf with Nick's business card still attached. He had them in several sizes. I believe that he did a 40 size also for himself. They always had that wild stripe paint scheme. The Patties would do wild long knife edges and always made alot of air noise coming off the rudder. A fun plane and a Good Guy to fly with. Nick came out to the R/C Propbusters field in Salem, CT last year or fall 2005 and brought the little Pattie with him. Still a head turner and good flying design and he never had a problem with the belly landings. I bet it would make a good electric if you lightened it up a bit and put a good outrunner onboard.

Peace


Mark O
