Sounds like good ol' "Uncle Willie" is ripping off RCM, which still has rights to the plans. Too bad, since RCM has always kept their plans reasonably priced. Thanks for the info, but I think I'll steer clear of "Uncle Willie", whoever the heck he is.
Nice DB 40. I gather the .40 size was kit only - no published plans.

One nice feature about the kits of the day was that they always included a full size plan to go along with the kits. I may still have mine somewhere in the box of plans.
I built the Tweety Bird, Dirty Burd 40 and 60 size Bird back in the day (around 78 and 79). They all flew the schedules of the day well.
The 40 and 60 models were trike retract equipped. The 40 size was heavy with retracts and flew heavy as I recall.
I had just started to play around with piped set-ups when I made a paradigm shift into Arrows with the pipe running down the fuse top. The Arrow was and may still be the truly outstanding rolling model of back then and now. The MK Arrow kits were amazing
