Default RE: Baby classic pattern planes are here!

Update.....

Got the Banshee and the Mach One ready to cut. Still need to work with the plans some more. As I said, that will be the hold up. Plans are ready to build with, but not up to kit standards. May release them that way and work on the plans as time goes by, which will allow more different planes. What do you all think?


Am switching to 1/16" sheeting for the wings. Got a lot of comments about the 1/32" balsa being too thin to work with at LE and TE. not staying glued down. It is pretty thin May offer either one when you order, even though the weigh penalty for 1/16" is a non-issue.

Still looking for Banshee and Mach One look-a-like canopies that will fit. Will supply plans for a built up Banshee canopy for the time being. 2 1/16" ply sides, and a balsa to. The original Banshee had a built up cowl until J&J started kitting it.
