The andrews aeromaster is probably the finest sport bipe ever.

Aerofred.com has the plans. There are a few wing configurations you can build, I'd like to see someone do a thread on the different configurations and describe the differences in flying characteristics.

I have plans and fiberglass cowl for a Smith Miniplane, 51 inch span, fuse narrowed a bit for better performance, for a .60. A real contest winner in its day. Still available here, Smith Miniplane(s) - Leisure Rc Models, shows 1/2 scale but scroll down and 1/4 available too; they ask $90 for plans and cowl, I'd sell for $40 plus shipping. I have photos of article, cowl, plans. Jim

I will second the vote for the Aeromaster. That being said I absolutely love my Reed Falcon. They are a bit difficult to find but well worth it if you can find one.

I have a kit for one of those too, but even though I'm sure it's a great airplane, I'm not likely to build it and would consider selling. It's definitely more than .60 size, right? Nice job on yours!

Thanks, yes it does require more power then a .60. I have a YS 140 in mine and it is insane power. Any 120 4 stroke would do the job though.
