Thanks guys. I plan on building two of these. The first will use the original color scheme and the second I will change the red to light blue. I may use red & white checks with red pin stripe rather than the original black and white on the second. But at the moment I'm building a bashed 6ch Eagle (added flaps, cargo drop, taildragger), a Herr Engineering 1/2A Sea plane, the Mis String Bikini, a Peice-O-Cake, a built-up Ranger 42, and my long term project is a B36 with span of over 10' for 6-0.15s. When I get time off I can spend a whole day going from one project to the next. Most are near completion and all will be ready by spring. I am also looking to built a A7 prop driven 1/2A, a Real Thing, an A26K 1/2A or 15s. a A26 for 25-40 (Wing Mfg plans) and we'll see what else I can fit in before spring... Need lots of balsa in the air for summer. And, somewhere in there I need to built a utility trailer to carry them all ;-) ....


The Miss Bikini has alway been one of my favorite planes. I even built a rubber powered verion of the plane years ago. I love it's clean lines and sweet looks. Another planeI loved but can't find plans to is the Scat Cat a 15 - 19 size plane that was published in American Modler I think. All my old mags are gone now so I have to scroung around and big up what I can. I have visited all the plan sites list here and many more to locate plans for these and other planes. But some seem to be lost for ever.....
