Vintage R/C plans
 

Old R/C plane plans full size.
Alley Kat by Southern RC.

Astro Hog
 

From the 50's

Thanks PD1!

I have a lot of old R/C plane plans that I'm trying to upload.
Some of the plans I've had to break into two sections to reduce file size, and make printing easier.

It seems there are a few glitches in the system as of now. Hopefully in a short time I can upload these plans.

Paul

Thanks! :) Interesting material.

Fokker DR-1
 

I got another one to upload.

Taurus
 

Early pattern plane

Paul, your da man! Keep em comming! My hard-drive still has lots of space!

Steve

OK, Now I'm not so happy. I can't get any of the plans to download. :( Is it just me?

No problems here with downloading the DR-1 plans I'm salivating over right now! (like I would have a prayer of successfully flying that beast! Maybe much later...)

Thanks a lot Paul!

The glitch you're getting might have something to do with the glitch I'm having trying to upload files around 2MB.

Keep trying, if all else fails I can e mail them to you.

Yea! :D Downloads worked tonight! I'm not sure what happened yesterday.

Thanks again Paul. My collection of plans is still small, but growing thanks to people like you.

AAmco
 

H-Ray, I worked at this company when this kit was being produced.
I never built a complete one.
When the kit was in production, Lou's son Gary worked there.
He built the models for the pictures and first kits.
He did a great job, I liked Gary a lot.

S-Ray
 

Sister to the H-Ray. same wing and tail.

Trainermaster
 

The 5th plane made at Aamco.
Very nice flyer.

Outstanding stuff. Many thanks for the uploads. I love these old plans!

Stagger Bi
 

From 1963 Phil Krafts Stagger Bi

Schoolgirl
 

Another bipe, this time by Ken Willard.

I'm still having trouble uploading larger files.

Li'l Swell
 

Another Ken Willard design

Contender
 

This is the older version of the Top Flite plane.
The kit sells for about $90 and I recommend it.

www.theplanpage.com is a good source.

Wow thank you verry much for the plans guy !!
George

I flew a contender and a protender ,both were great fun fly contest airplanes . Hey guys iam looking for a tidewater pronto plan if any one has it. joe

El Toro
 

Here's a 1961 design I lifted out of American Modeler. I scanned the views then put the file into Autocad and traced away. Enjoy.

:ws:Hi Paul, thanks for the quick response and info-link..I have just put this page on favourites and I look forward to future posts ps the info on the Hog is fantastic

Thank you for a verry interesting plan I love colecting plans almost as well as building
planes !!
George

George, I haven't been able to post a lot of my plans because of some conflict with my computer and wattflyer.

I've posted a lot of plans here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1265873

Paul

Thank you for the redirect pd1 I will try it asap !
George

Thanks Michael, back in the early 60's my brother and I flew at the old Craig Road flying site. A strip of bare desert back then. Marty would show up and fly huge Anttic. Really a very nice person and helps us learn to build and fly RC.

Here's one from 1954. The High Q.
Looks like it might have influenced the Tri Squire.
Hope this file is small enough to upload.

I'd like to see three things:

1. Frank Zaic's cabin Thermic 50, not the Thermic 50x. JASCO version of course! When I build a Zaic plane I don't want that OTHER guy's design. LOL Is there a plan out there for the Thermic 72?

2. Frank Zaic placed third in the world in the 1934 Wakefield International Cup. I can't seem to find the plans to that plane and would love to have them!

3. Zaic's most successful tow line glider was his Floater, a vastly simplified plane that abandoned all subtlety for one guiding principle. He found that all the airfoil tables were irrelevant because the angle of attack was not the designed 2 or 3 degrees but six on a free flight glider. Therefore he changed the angle of incidence so that the fuselage was flying level while all the other planes were flying about 3º nose up! Then he introduced the canted stabilizer to force the plane into a tight but stable turn in glide mode. It was a simple matter of towing the Floater to altitude, fiddling around up there until a thermal was encountered and releasing the plane. It basically executed a flat turn, almost pivoting around a wingtip. I understand it self-centered in the thermal. Releasing a Floater in a thermal was a guaranteed max! That's one I'd love to have.

Thermic 50
 

Here's the Thermic 50 I have. Someone asked about the 50x earlier and I don't have it.

Is this Thermic 50 the one you wanted?

I have a Thermic 72 around here somewhere.
First I have to find it, then I have to scan it, then I have to re assemble it and clean it up.
Probably this fall.
Don't have the Floater.

Verry nice planes and I'm hopeing I can tile them soon !!
Thank you Pd1 I like colecting plans almost as well as building and flying
the planes ,I love building planes and wooden toys for the youngsters to
to play with !!
George

Absolutely! That fuselage looks like it could be difficult. What they did routinely in the 1930s is difficult for us! Me, anyway. Thank you! This one is a keeper. I may scale up the fuse and use it with the Thermic 72 wing for a non-pod and boom 6' wingspan. I'll decide when I get to see your work on the 72. That will be worth waiting for!:D

a fantastic set of plans to have here would be the Hots and the Super Hots ones. someone out there? :rolleyes:

1945 JASCO Thermic 72
 

Frank Zaic designed Thermic 72.
I redrew the wings and stab so they should be straight.

PD1
Verry nice but to buisy a plan for me any more ,besides that I would not be able to haul it in my S10-Chevy unless I made a box for it in the bed and I don't know
if I like that idea all that well ?
I would worry about it bounceing to much and geting crushed , I have air shocks
under the rear end and they are heavey duty and ride like a set of 6"x 6"s are there
in place of the normal stuff !!
I thank you for the plan ,I put it in the plans file in case some one else might need
a copy some day !!

Sailwing 50
 

One more to finish my stash of Frank Zaic planes.
The Sailwing 50, flying wing. A bit rare, but I like the looks of this one.

Hi George,
I bought a used X cargo roof top box for $30. You could put one in the bed of the pick up and haul your planes with impunity.
Nice and light, easy to move around alone.

Paul

I have seen guys buy used truck tool boxes take the trays out and line them with foam to haul planes also . Nice glider Paul. joe
