I've been a good boy all summer and with fall coming I need something to build: How about dedicating your website to all Keith Laumer plans?

Thank you (Mommy says alway be polite) Little Chucky

I'll see what I can find in my secret stash of Laumer designs.
I'll at least re-post the old ones.

No creepy movies here, just a big kid and his planes! Thanks for the response.

What a great idea, I am looking forward to this! This may be the excuse I need to finally build one of Keith's fine designs ..... I've always had a soft spot for little "V-Girl"? I would like to see everyone interested to build one of the Laumer models and power it with a glow (or diesel) engine of the period ..... as I for one am just about OD'ed on the never ending Cox / Norvel type threads here on this Forum?!

Good going tri-pacer!

Sincerely, Donald Garry

Status: offline 		I'll dig throught my stuff, too. I stumbled on a nineteen fifty-nineish issue of Flying Models, if memory serves, that featured the "Gwing", a nifty little .020 FF with an open cockpit and a mid-wing. I put it aside so I could keep track of it and....well, you know how that goes. This will give me an excuse to clean up the shop. Anybody got plans for Dan'l Boom (gotta love Laumer 's names!) .

Status: offline 		Thanks guys. What for you ask? Why for keeping the small bird fires alit, of course. Every time I get the urge to buy an ARF I just cruise this forum and get my head straight. Well, not every time but it keeps my transgressions to a minimum.

I like the idea of the build-a-thon. Not every step but at least one in the 'bones and one when complete.

Hey, why not a "sticky" for each of the "favorite" designers like Willard, Laumer , Reese, etc. Might keep them alive, so to speak.

Status: online 		If this fourm would let me post a PDF file, I have the V-Girl, one of the few Laumer designs I possess. Anyway here's the "Push up". Not one of his more exciting designs, but, LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

Status: online 		Reid,

Actually I started building the V-Girl several months back and of course several other projects as well (lots of great designs from the 50's that keep calling my name). Anyway the project came to a holt when reaching for rather large can of dope to finish the wing of another airplane: Yes you guessed it, I dropped the can on fuse of the V-Girl. Thats the reason for this thread, kind of a grieving process for my departed V-Girl. (Ya Right!!) By the way, thats the first time I've smashed a plane before it got off the building board! As for obtaining a copy of the V-Girl plan, I did post it on another form in rcgroups.com. The thread is in the vintage and oldtimer designs and is called Binatang. It's a 1959 FF design from "The Land of Downunder". The address listed below should take you straight to it.

Chuck
