RE: flock of spads
Is there a place to find out more about these spads. They look like an easy b uild.
I am just getting back into this, and need some easy cheap planes to learn to fly again, with elelctric.
Thanks
Terry

RE: flock of spads
Terry,
www.spadtothebone.com has free plans and www.spadworld.net has lots of build threads, threads about materials and techniques. Spadworld also has lots of friendly folks that like to help people like you that are interested in building and flying SPAD's. Spend a few weeks reading threads here and at Spadworld and in no time at all you will be cranking them out like draftsman!
Good Luck!

Terry. I've been using spadtothebone plans for a while now. Most are well laid out and easy to follow. If I were you I would get my thumbs back on a trainer then build a hand launch plane like a Debut or something.

RE: flock of spads
Hey Terry, yes build a trainer. the debonair is a really good trainer to learn flying again and learning how to build spads. there is some build techniques but they are really easy. look in all of the threads and the stickies for the info, its all there, just read it all. then build a DPS or a corostick then maybe a coro cub or something like that. The price of spads is very little. in fact you will get addicted to building and before you know it, you will have a whole fleet. send me a PM or email if you have any questions

You can also check out Crazy Herb. He has a lot of plans for foam delta wing planes that would make a great electric set up.
