Does anyone have any information on plans for the Superfection by Bill Thomas and the Warlock by Jim Wilmot? Both of these planes are listed as approved on the SPA list. I've gone through all the plans services and can't find any kind of information either one. Guess I have to dig out the old magazines to see who published the construction articles...RCM,MAN,AAM. Does RCM sell plans to all the construction articles they published? I recall a couple articles from way back that they don't list in their plans service. I picked up a fiberglass/foam .40 version of the Warlock at a swap meet years ago...no plans..no name on box. If anyone has any information, please pass it on.

FS,
I had a 1/2A Warlock back around '83 or '84.
The one I had was kitted by Airtronics.
I can't remember if they were also kitting the .40 size at the time.
Sometime around then I saw the .40 size at a field.
These were the only two Warlocks I had ever seen.
My 1/2A was a good build.
It was powered by a TD .049 and had elevator and ailerons.
No landing gear.
Flew well.
I gave it away in '87 when I was getting out of RC and moving.
Hope you find one.

Fsflyer,

As far as I remember, the Superfection was a modified Deception. It has a larger wing/longer fuselage/bigger stab. A friend in my R/C club used to fly one. To my knowledge it was never a kit, just scaled up drawings from the Jim Kimbro design.

The Warlock is a case of two different animals. The one that jlkonn is speaking of is a 1/2A Scott Christenson design that was kitted by Airtronics in both 1/2A and .40 sizes. Both are beautiful Airtronics kits and have no bad habits. I won my first pattern contest with one in Petersburg, VA with an Enya .45 on the nose/Airtronics radio. That plane taught me one thing.. that GARFIELD cannot fly. Despite the plane winning contests, it was prone to all sorts of gremlins.. I attribute this to Garfield the cat.

I believe the other "warlock" was a design published in RCM. I suggest going to the RCM plans guide and seeing if you can't find it. BTW, the Scott Christenson verson wasn't made in glass/foam as far as I know.

Good luck with your search.

Thanks Dan, I thought the Superfection was a completely different design from the Deception....the model that superceded it...think it was called Perfection II was almost a direct copy of the Chidgey Tiger Tail.

The Warlock I'm refering to is not the Airtronics series. I think that you are correct that RCM did the construction article....but there's no listing of it in their plans service. Time to pour over the old magazines I guess.

The Wilmot Warlock was an early 70s airplane that used a highly swept wing, swept rudder hinge line, and a tandem gear with outriggers. plans are available on http://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=8878.

Original magazine article was in American Aircraft Modeler Feb 72.
A couple of years later, he came out with a much more conventional design called the Warlord, very sleek with the same swept rudder.

Nice, 13 year bump.
