I can no longer promise next day shipping but I should be able to get anything out within 3 days.
I am still trying to go out of business and will not be restocking items as they run out.
I am sorry for being closed for so long, but this past year has been an absolute disaster for our family.
Life will never be the same.

| Expanding Logarithmic Spiral Patterns | Makes tapered wings easy, draws any airfoil from 1% to 10% thick and 1" to 20" chord | $5.00 |
|
| Glo Bug; 28" wing span, full pattern | Carl Goldber's 1947 stunt model. One of the 1st designs for glo plug engines. Designed for an O & R .23, but mine flew better on an Arden .19 | $5.00 |
|
| Fu-Bar 36 | Ray Matthews. 165 sq inches. This was the most popular of the 50's 1/2A models. Has small rudder and low CG. Thermals exceptionally well. Does not power very well. | $7.00 |
|
| Yogi 42" Twin rudder Pusher 300 sq inches. 21 oz. | Not much of a contest model but one of the best looking models ever. O & R .23 Motor was mounted at the traling edge of the wing and it's sure to come out tail heavy. Makes a great electric flyer. | $7.00 |
|
| Smarty, Works well with a hot Wasp .049 and or a Tee-Dee .020 | Bunting's. 150 sq inches and a true 5 oz. The very best of 1949-1950 1/2A model design. This one will handle all the power of the best WASP running on 50% fuel and 5 x 3 prop. I believe this won the Nats twice and then came back to win ROW against the big models. | $7.00 |
|
| 1/2A Hydro Star. Includes details for all three floats. | These are the best plans ever. And I should know, I drew these myself way back in the 50s. Nothing wrong with them and no improvements are allowed. Hydro Star is a really good flying pylon model. Basically Spacer wing and tail with my pretty little pylon and rudder. Does very well with Hornets and TeeDees. | $7.00 |
|
| 1/2A Ramrod 250 | This is a stock copy of Berkley's kit plans. Not a super good flying airplane but probably the safest flying design ever, never crashes | $7.00 |
|
| Spacers
Several sizes to fit the current rules. All have side and down thrust and will handle lots of power. Sal Taibi's 1951 design. I got a fresh set of plans from Sal and then added the side and down thrust changes that are required to handle the power. I developed several different sizes to fit the current NOS rules. Plans include a booklet on how to adjust and contest fly the model. Also covers engine selection, props, fuel and where the cut on the engines to get the needed RPM. |
