Cheers, when you said you'll send them if you want them, did you mean e-mail or post? If you meant e-mail then yes please, as I'm building up a collection of plans which I'm gonna try and work through eventually. Thanks for that link I never realised you could do so much stunt work with them! Sorry to sound stupid but, what is this 1/2A you keep on mentioning? Is it a type of plane? I'm still learning everything about RC Planes/Helis.
I don't have an easy way to scan them for you, be glad to fold them up and mail 'em. Reason I thought of it, this is a really good flying small model with a built-up wing and profile fuselage. Could be built for only a little money and give you good enough results to make it worthwhile. You can look it up on the Brodak web site. Find the Baby Flite Streak. If you're still interested, PM me your address and I'll send them to you.

Lessee, 1/2A is the .049 sizes, A is .051-.19, B about .20-.30, C the .35-.40 sizes, D .60 and larger. I can't recall the exact numbers, but something like that. The letter designations aren't used much anymore except for the 1/2A one. Cox used to make a TeeDee.049 and an .051, so that free flight contestants could fly the same model in 1/2A and A class by swapping motors. Same for the Fox .19 and .201 for A and B. With apologies to Jim T, this is kind of ancient history in modeling now....
Only just saw your post there! Thanks for clearing up the letter thing, I get it now.

I didn't realise they were proper plans. I would want you to post them as it would cost you too much to post from America to England like that. But thanks alot for the offer! I think I might try and build up "chubby" from the Tony Elmore website. I did have an idea though, would it be possible to fit a tiny RC unit in there - blaspheme I know but with some of the micro Rc out there I could make a simple 2 channel rudder and elevator system which ways less than 100g or so!

Thanks,
Chris
