That looks good Stewart, where did you get the plan from? I have a few "surestarts" and a peewee 020 looking to be used, maybe make a half sized one for the peewee.

Andrew,
the plan was in the March 1987 Radio Modeler magazine- a full size pullout plan. I built 1 for my son and he loved it, it was quite quick powered with a blackwidow and fitted with a 5x4 cox pusher prop.

Thanks for the info about when it was published, I sent a few mails to dealers on *bay and see if I can find a copy.
I presume it is 2 channel on elevator/front stabiliser and ailerons? I do have a "Queen Bee 074" that doesn't seem to be of much use, although it DOES have a throttle but weights a quarter of a pound!![X(]
