im looking for plans to build the starfighter, does anyone know if there are any available?

Here's a couple of links you might try:

Starfighter

F-104

Bob Holman carries the Thorpe Bros. range of plans from England. They have Starfighter plans

here's someone building an F-104 from the Thorpe Bros. plans

yep, the 3-views about are good for building a Starfighter.... i used them for building mine .

only a small tractor version though..

For those who may be interested ....

here's an update of the Starfighter project of mine from my post above. The model is basically finished. May get to test fly it this weekend depending on weather.

cheers

Not much wing there!!!! I suggest u keep the speed up on landing.

Wow, that's a real missle. Please let us know how you make out. It looks great. Very nice Luftwaffe scheme. Best of Luck!

hi, i would like to thank you for you help, those are good plans. take care . john.

well your right about that, the starfighter lands at 240 mph. thats why thay call it the widowmaker. hehe.

Hello can anyone tell me Bob Holman email ?? tryed looking it up on his web page but page is not loading right i like to find out the price on the Thorpe Bros. plans and what other one he may have??

does anyone know if there are plans out there to build a fa 18 hornet???

there a plan for a .60 size F-18 here, page 2.

Looked very good in the review the magazine did on the plan.

240 mph (209 kts) isn't all that fast for a century series fighter approach speed. As I remember, the final approach speed for the F-101 Voodoo was in the 180 to 210 kts. range depending on fuel on board and model. Actual touch down speed would have been 20 knots less. A friend of mine who flew the F-100 C, said he was bummed that he had to land faster than the 104. They had boundary layer controls and his C model didn't even have flaps!

I think the rep as a dangerous aircraft to fly had more to do with the Germans trying to make a ground attack platform out of a point defense interceptor than it's unforgiving slow speed characteristics.

The wing tip tanks are model rocket tubes and nose cones, the fixed landing gear is located in the scale position, the control surface throws and c.g. balance location shown on the plans were A-OK, mine flew just right, the wing has foam cores sheeted with balsa, the core templates are shown on the plans, no built up wing available.
