Default Looking for R/C Airplane Plans

I just finished my first R/C Airplane (a Duraplane 40). I am going to fly it soon but I need to start investigating my next build. I have quite a bit of experience with smaller guillow kits and the like. I need to enduldge in a challenging project. Does anyone have an idea of good places to start looking for airplane plans?

All the magazines list plans for sale. RCM, MAN, FM and MA (AMA mag) plus every issue lists additional plans available from literally dozens of sources. Most clubs have a few pack-rats with plans in the shop from past projects. What kind of project are you looking for? Second plane, pattern, fun fly, scale, or warbird or ????

Don't forget to check out the Marketplace on this site for available plans.

I might have a set of Plans that might tickle your fancy for a good challenge...

The plans are Nick Ziroli's F8F-Bearcat. Large Scale, 86" wingspan, you can check out the link to see what you might get yourself into...
http://www.ziroliplans.com/cat_frameset.html

This link will bring you to the Ziroli website to view what you could get into...It is a FANTASTIC plane, but I just have too many other projects on the go to get into this build. I have a couple of other links I have used to research this project if you are interested...

Skynate how about RCM's Advanced Trainer MK II. They just came out a few months ago. Nice simple plans and a neat plane. I am in the process of building one now. If not the Cloud Dancer plans #1146 are also real nice. The prices are good too.

Some time ago, way back in the early 70's I believe, a guy named William Burrie designed a 47in. Hal Krier, Great Lakes Trainer. The plans were published, but I cannot remember the magazine. Does anyone have any idea if these plans are available and if so, where can I get a copy?
