Default ace 4-60 mono wing

Hi and thanks in advance
I had a ace 4-60 that was a blast to fly a friend had one with spoilers on my plane i used a super tiger 75 for power
i need to find a plan for the fuselage i still have the wing plan if any one know where to find one
i sure had a lot of fun with that plane i live in the texas hill country so a big wheeled tail dragger will be great my bush country strip
i am just geting back into rc flying
after a long time off i am also going to build a super kaos 40 i heard there was a new sport 40 with the same wing
thanks john

The Ace Bingo is pretty much the same as a 4-60 except it has a low wing instead of a mid wing.
The Bingo even uses the same wing as the 4-60 and the plans are available from RC Modeler plans
The Sig Four Star 60 is very much like the 4-60 except it is low wing. The Four Star comes as a Kit or ARF. The Kit is about as easy to build as any plane this size and has laser cut parts. Very Nice.

RC Modeler USA phone 800 523 1736 other wise 626 355 1476 8:30 - 5:00 Pacific time Bingo Plan # 1062 $20.50

I forgot to add that the fuselage on all the planes mentioned is almost entirely "Lite ply" plywood.
You will need a scroll saw to cut out the parts.

I bought some 1/8" Philippine mahogany door skins from the lumber yard to make one of these.

If you have your old fuselage - just copy it.

Hobby people have a new 8 channel transmitter and 2 receivers for $225 2.4 ghz spread spectrum
Airtronics RDS8000 2.4G Mode2 w/1-Tx/2-Rx Only no servos $229.99

The old FM radios are dirt cheep most places. If you owned one and were trying to sell it - you couldn't give it away.

The Plans do not show full size fuselage.They do the wing,but since all the fuselage parts interlock,then they only show 1/2 size,or some thing close.About the only way to copy the fuselage is get a kit,and trace the parts,and yesits all plywood.I foung white glue works the best.You get ca on plyhood,and its really hard getting it off.
Got your reply.the only picture is the one I got from the seller when I bought it.
