RE: xf5f Grumman Skyrocket
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">HI In another forum on the subject of the RC Grumman XF5F - 1 Skyrocket, they said you could order plans from Flying Molders, catalog number CF386. I contacted them as they do not have it listed in their list of plans but they had it full scale. There was a build published article, around 1975 if my memory serves me correctly. The plan is drawn by Nick Ziroli and the article was written by Nick Ziroli too. It is one sheet plan and was designed around using the Wankel engines. The WS is 58 inches, and the plan says it can be powered with 2 - .29/.40 cu. Inches. The plans says the cowls are fiberglass and the canopy can be ordered from ”Major Model & MFG. </span><street><address><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">29 Edgar Drive</span></address></street><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">, </span><place><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Smithtown</span></place><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 9pt"> , NY., 1187. I have not checked this out. The plan is NOT dimensioned but does have a scale bar. The cost for the plan was $11, copy of the build article, $3, shipping was $8 in a tube mailer.</span></p>
