Default LAZY ACE PLANS

As many of you know Chuck Cunningham passed away this past spring. Prior to his passing he asked that I continue in his efforts of providing his plans to the RC community. Recently the Cunningham family transfered Sky Master Ind plan to me. If anyone is interested in the Lazy Ace series plans or any of the other Cunningham designs please contact me at : [email protected]

Anyone know if Woody is still distributing plans for all of Chuck's Lazy Ace's, sent him an email haven't got an answer...........

I would prefer prints from the original masters instead of e-bay rip offs that have skips or distortions in them, been there done that
on a set of Bud Nosen plans

Yes I do know of that one, also looking for the 120" giant version. I may have to have the 96" set I have
enlarged to get the 120" if I have no luck with Woody!

Wow! A 16 year old zombie thread. You might try contacting him the field he flies at. Here is a link. I haven't flown there since before last spring when the lake flooded and closed the field for most of the summer.

It shows Woody's new email as [email protected]

Hope this helps.

Well it seems that the Woody is no longer selling Chuck's plans, can't say I blame him, as these e-bay rip-off artists
have no values at all when it comes to taking other peoples property and infringing on copy rights. Most of the time
and I have been bitten twice, they are either distorted copies (unusable for building from) or have gaps in the plans
like they have been enlarged from a magazine article. Wanted the 84" version for the symmetrical wings, guess have to
get it from Outerzone. Anyone know where one might find a copy of the 120" version?

Bill, did I understand that you have the original 76" Lazy Ace plans from Chuck Cunningham available ? Years ago (1980) I borrowed a friend plans and I traced them in the drafting section where I worked. Later when assigned to Germany I build my first Lazy Ace. It was a great flying airplane. When the top wing came off & crashed the first I built another one. I use the plans to modify to look like the Balsa USA Dejager with Weber 90. Here are some pictures.






I sold the Dejager a couple year ago at a swap meet.

Ah the Der Jager, another one of my favorites, have a short kit of the Balsa USA 3rd scale from
Lazer-Works waiting in the wings, just have to order the glass parts from Fiberglass Specialties,
already have the landing gear done from TNT Products.

In regards to the 76" span Lazy Ace, yes I do have a copy of the plans that I bought from RCM Plans
Service a few years ago, was lucky enough to get them as I know others that were ordering plans were
having a problem getting them. I went to http://www.outerzone.co.uk/ and I see that they list all of the
Lazy Ace plans, the 76", 84" & 96" versions, while I was there I down loaded them all along with the
RCM article, can't seem to put my hands on the article copy that came with the plans.

I may order the short kit for the 76" Lazy Ace from Eddy @ Lazer-Works, as that is where I get most
of my laser cutting done and I see he is listing the short kit already. Laser Design Services is showing
short kits for the other 2 Lazy Aces, the 84" & 96", so it looks like I could save a bit of time cutting out
parts, but there is no more satisfaction greater than cutting one own and building from that, and the
Lazy Aces look like an easy cut and build project.
