I recently learned my father in law flew a Swallow with an OX 5 engine made in Wichita Ks. I would love to build him a model for him to see fly [he is 87] Does anyone have plans they could share with me for a fairly scale, giant size plane? It would really be fun to see his expression with this special airplane.

There's not a lot of material out there. I found these three sites with photos but that's all.

You might try checking with the magazines and Bill Northrup (from the old Model Builder) for plans of any size. MAN, RCM and Flying Models all have web sites just a search away with their plans listed.

It sounds like a grand adventure with a touching outcome. Good luck.
