I just purchased a second hand RC Plane called a Dirty Birdy.
Here is a picture of it.
Does anybody have any manuals that might help me finish the bird and make her airworthy again?

Isn't this one of the old Joe Bridi models?
Have you tried his website?

..........it's a very old Joe Bridi. Old versions had fuselages of balsa, while the newer ones were fiberglass. Wish I had a manual for ya, cause that would mean I had one.

Ah yes the Dirty Birdy. I crashed one so hard the battery ended up INSIDE the fuel tank. Lesson learned: never do rolling circles with a black and white plane, on a rainy cloudy day, right before dark.

They actually had both. I bought the glass and the wood birdies at the same time. Got a new wood one not long ago that a friend bought. Ended up selling it though. I still have a glass one about 3/4 done. I gotta finish it. Awsome plane!

with this being in the 'beginners' section, i cant help but wonder if you have any experience in radio control flying models.
whilst i have not flown a dirty birdy, a guy in our club has one and its not a trainer.
