Status: offline 		Hi,
I have been collecting pictures of classic pattern planes for a while. I started this as a reference for my own use when browsing this forum. I wanted to know what the planes discussed in this forum look like. If you would like to contribute specs or other information and pictures, please email me using the link on the page. I will be happy to include them. If any corrections need to be made, please let me know. This is the first of several pages to come.
Thanks
CAsniffer

One correction - you have listed Eureka Banshee, the one in silver and Orange. It's actually the J&J kit, photo was from 1973.

I have that pic saved because I like the look but the only information is from http://homepages.tig.com.au/~doogie/personalhp2.htm
Is there anything more?

Status: offline 		Hi CASniffer, Just a note about the one labeled Avenger- I believe it's actually called Revenger from May 78 of RCM. Was going to paste the link here from the RCM Plansite but it's strangely missing now. Was there 7-10 days ago when we were discussing it on this thread: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6844233/tm.htm

The one called Avenger is still showing on the RCM Plansite, but it's more of a shoulder wing "strike attack" looking design.

Thank you for compiling the pictures for reference, I think it's a good idea and suspect a guy would be flattered to find their build used as a reference photo for a given design.

Status: offline 		Jeff,
Thanks for the input. I will make the change tonight. This means I will have to re-order all the pictures. At some point, I will have to find a better way to keep them in alphabetical order.

Thanks

CAsniffer.

Status: offline 		This is REALLY cool! Quite a lot of work to build this. Just a few little corrections. About 1/2 way down in the right hand column, the model labeled "Crusader" is a "Curare" . Directly under that, the model labeled "Curare" is a "Magic"

Hope you can keep building on this.

Status: offline 		I appreciate the support and encouragement. I have made the three corrections offered by MMcConville, Jeff Worsham and WEDJ. I still have at least one more page of planes to add and will start working on that tonight. I will post what I accomplish.

Thanks!

Status: offline 		Super! Can't wait until you get to Z. I see this link is to a web site. Can it be copied to a file? Hmm, I'm going to have to look into that. It would be nice to save it in case sometime in the future the website were no longer available.

Status: offline 		Woo Hoo! Page number 2 is available! It didn't take me as long as I thought. It helps if you have a bulk image re-sizer to make all the thumbnails. Did 50 files at a time in less than 20 seconds! Software is called Fotosizer. You can choose a single image to resize or an entire folder...whatever size you want. Its great for web work like this or to resize images for those digital photo frames. I always take digital pictures at the highest resolution the camera is capable of and resize. Sounds like a commercial, huh. I have no affiliation with this software. My enthusiasm comes from the fact that its freeware and easy to use!
Click here to download. http://www.fotosizer.com/download.aspx
I put a link to the second page from the first page. You can't miss it. Again, please let me know if I need to make any corrections.
If there's something you think doesn't qualify as a classic pattern plane, let me know and I will remove it. If you have an image(s) you would like to see included, send them to me or tell me where it is.

Not too many left for page 3. Hope to get to that tomorrow night.
Thanks
Classic Pattern Planes
