With the isolation in full force, I searched (re-searched) old magazines for ideas of planes that could be suitable for small electrics.
I came across a few that are 1/2A (Cox TeeDee and the like) that could be easily converted to electric.
Should you be interested, the PDF could be enlarged to any suitable scale.
Also, I have the full construction articles but did not copy them here.
Scratch building is FUN and very rewarding.
Enjoy!
Tiger Moth - 3 channel.
Honker, from RCM
Buzzy Bee - suitable for these times...
A high mounted motor called Pluto.
A pusher Scooter from RCM.
Guy,
Thanks for posting. The first one you put up was the one that Rob and I built and maidened on March 19. A great little flyer. The scary part is that I was around when it was first published in 1972.
The best post is the Tiger Moth because now I know the balance point (CG) and the actual shape of the "N" shaped interplane struts. It is the one for the 80 year-old retired pilot. Very useful. Thank you.
Frank

That is not scary, I had been bashing balsa wood for a few years at that time and I was working on my private pilot licence.
Let me know if you need the full article on any of these and I will PDF the file.
Have a great day!
Guy
