RE: Has anyone here tried an Ornithopter ?

I have an air powered ornithopter. It flys pretty well but of course is a free flight unit only.

RE: Old Sterling kits anywhere?

Hmmm? Never thought to look in the dumpster. :-)

RE: Old Sterling kits anywhere?

Easytiger,
Glad I took your advice. Jeff has returned my most recent email with an offer to help. You must have great influence. Now I'm watching my other mailbox.
Thank You.

RE: Old Sterling kits anywhere?

I would try to buy the kit if it ever comes back up for auction. I did buy the FS-36 kit, same size but not as robustly constructed. Aparently the crutch is horizontal on the C-9 too. I figure I...

RE: Old Sterling kits anywhere?

In the sixties as a teenager, I built and flew a Sterling Corsair control line plane. The kit was a C-9, 36" wingspan sorta scale model. I've been looking for the plans for this model. Got any ideas?
