Default P-38 Lightning Plans

I am looking for some P-38 lightning plans. I don't want the wingspan to be too large (Over 60"). if anybody knows where a good set of plans is please let me know.

Default P38 plans

Take a look at this site, www.rcmmagazine.com click on RCM Plans on the blue title page.

I have one of there 60" p38 plans. I believe the author was Whitehead. There is even a little instruction on the building and flying it.

Good luck

Default P-38 Plans

Model Aviation magazine had a 52" plan in 1988. I think the designer was Jack Stolly. He details the Fowler flap mechanism as well as the retracts. If you have acess to a lathe and a mill, and you want to put the time into machining the landing gear, this would be a good choice.
