Help identify a few planes
Hi all - I picked up a few planes at an estate sale and trying to identify some of them. Eventually I'd like to track down the manuals/plans to determine engine specs/CG, etc. There are a few so I'll number them. . . . Thanks.
PLANE #1: Bipe, 45" span

PLANE #4: I know it's a P-39. Span is 51" - Any idea who makes (made) it? (this one needs a little love to get back in the air)

Plane #1 looks like an Acromaster.
Plane #2 looks like a modified Ugly Stik.
Plane #3 looks like a Lazy Bee modified.
I agree about the other 2.

#1 is a Sportster 40 bipe. I have the plans and the manual.
#3 is the Speedy Bee. Have the plans of it somewhere.
PM me your adress and I will copy the plans and send the to you. You can download the manual for the Sportster 40 Bipe from the Great Planes Website.

RE: Help identify a few planes
Hi all - Thanks for the help identifying these planes. Here's where I'm at. . .
#1: GP Sportster Bipe 40
#2: Still TBD - What's throwing me off is the rounded shape on the top of the nose (more pics below). Most sticks that I'm aware of are square. Also want to point out it's a tail dragger. Maybe an attempt to make a stick look like an Eindecker?
#3: Clancy Aviation Speedy Bee
#4: Jemco Fun Scale P-39
#5: Sig Kavalier
Now for a couple more. . . .

This one is a Rogas modell Dalotel designed by Hanno Prettner. Great flying airplane I had one once. Usually when I build an airplane with a plastic cowl I will pull a mold and make a fibergless cowl. As luck would have it, I still have the mold if you would like a new cowl we could arrange it.

Johnny Cashburn's Lucky fly, three sizes of these, can't remember what spans were but do remember what fantastic flyers they were, I had all three at one time.

RE: Help identify a few planes
Sad to think this could be my collection someday, and my wife will sell them all for what I told her I paid for them.
I better crash them all now whileI have the chance
This is fun. Ithink 9 is a BIrd of time by Dynaflite?
