Have you been to the RCCA web site? At one time, they might have had some links posted for plans.

You might have to buy a Battle Axe to get a quick education from. I'll bet you find that the plane you scratch built wasn't too far off. The SSC minimum weight of 40 ozs makes designing a good performing plane a matter of working in enough wing area.

My idea of the ideal SSC plane would therefore be just a flying wing with lots of span for scoring crepe paper. It would also be interesting to try a pusher.....I can't remember if AMA rules allows pushers or not. Even if they did, there aren't any 8x3 pusher props.....[:@]

Do you think battle axe is the way to go? I see the avenger looks more like a flying wing?
I'm not set on the battle axe design. something that flys well and is an easy build, Ha, not asking for much. LOL
Dont have the time to keep testing my own creations, so I need plans or a plane to copy..
