Not the best quality but nonetheless they can be printed on fresh paper.

When airage store shipped me plans of the .40 Gator Flea, I also received the fuselage plans for the Compensator. But not the wing plans. So someone provided me with the wing plans from the southern rc model kit.BTY a compensator might go on ebay shortly. The person who bought it for $100.00 on rcgroups usually resells on ebay. I would love to get the full RC Southern kit for $100.00. What a bargin.

I'll be looking for it I would be willing to cut kit and sell them cheap the plans I have now are from my first kit I built in 78 they are old and worn I'm also set up for cutting foam

Excellent! Thanks all.

Os 61. I put a os 61 rear exhaust pipe through the upper part of the fuselage and fitted a 1/8 inch plywood deck inside and out the top of the fuselage 16 oz tank would get me through the flight and had power for that hateful figure m with half rolls lol

Now that's something I could be interested in :-)

I might just add that the rear exhaust Compensator layout is essentially a Bootlegger. Same wing, stab (mostly) and the fuse is only very slightly different.

If an OS VF is to be used, there already is a Bootlegger short kit being made by Scott (RCFoamy). Just thought it might save you some time and support the classic cottage industry. :)

www.eurekaaircraft.com has the short kit for the compensator in varioius forms.
