I have only built one plane and that was the GP F14 Tomcat .60 size. That was a handfull in my opinion for being my first kit. Anyway I have just aquired a HUGE amount of balsa, enough for at least 4 planes and would like to build one out of scratch. But I need some info and would like plans that go into detail about the exact sizes of what to cut out. I may sound lame but I am not sure of what to ask for. I am in the mood for an Extra 300 style or a cap 232 or Edge style. I have flown the Ultra Stick 60, 120 and a PT17 stearman and a corsair and a 150 cessna .25 size. Oh and the F14 Tomcat. I hope I am not jumping too far ahead on getting a 300. If anyone has one to sell or at least loan it would be appreciated. Thanks.

i guess i should have mentioned before, i have a 61 super tigre for one. so i need a 60 size. or maybee a 40 size that would allow a 60 engine.

crashland,
The best I can offer is to pick up a couple of the trade magazines, and check out all the great plans in the back (RCM is a good one for that.) They all come with the "construction article", or directions.

I've checked all that I can find on search on the web and ama and rcm and have only found a few but I am figuring on just buying a kit from tower and getting all the wood out and copying it over to other balsa and going from there. That way I can at least rebuild another one from one plan. The high way to do it but I cant figure out any other way.
