Default what's a good co. for plans?

Has anyone used Cleveland Models and Supply Co. plans for WWII planes? I've also been looking at Ziroli plans but haven't decided which to go with. I'm trying to find plans for a Zero. Also does anyone have pictures of planes made from either of these Co.

The Cleveland plans where all done years ago I think and are really not designed from the ground up for a large gas engine and such.

Ziroli plans are newer and where designed and flown with gas engines or at least a large glow engine. Ziroli tells you what retracts to get and all of that.

Jusyt my take on it.

Cleveland plans have been around for decades. I haven't seen any updated to the plans in recent years. They do seem to offer a sizing service. I would expect to do a lot of engineering to build from these plans.

Ziroli is noted for really nice plane designs. Proven by sport and competetion flyers alike.

Roy Valllancourt offers some really nice plans. Didn't see a Zero at a quick glance.

Bob Holman distributes many plans.

Search the Warbird fourm for photos.
