Default RE: Wanted :TopFlite RC Nobler

AMA Pond Collection has the plans. It was originally published in American Modeler. Also, keep checking the auctions. They don't always go for so much, so if you're willing to be patient you might get a reasonable deal. But it's not so hard to scratch build a sport plane. Sig still sells canopies; you just cut it down to size. Steerable nose gear can be bought, and the main gear can be bent. The rest is just balsa and a bit of ply. Not so hard once you get into it, and really a lot of fun. Balsa look so pretty and clean without the die crunched tabs and printed numbers.
