Perhaps you are thinking of the Stirling Flying Fool. Does it look like this?

Hi, I see them on eBay from time to time, but they cost quite a bit. It would be nice if someone could make a copy of the plans, and templates of the parts. I would like to build one again as well.

Dog gone it...been trying to bid on a flying fool kit on e-bay and lost it, was at the movie when the bidding ended. went for $118.00 I sure would like to get a hold of this kit...My father built one back in the early 60's and I kept it until the freakin movers broke it to pieces when I was stationed in italy in the 80's. always wanted to build it and paint it the same scheme that my father had.

I have a copy (templates) of all the parts as well as the blueprints to the Sterling PT-17 Crop Duster Bi-Plane. It's Wingspan is 32.25" for a .19 to .35 control line engine. Wing, Fuselage, Tail, and Rudder are all build up parts.

Let me know if you are interested in this plane. Email me at [email protected].
