@Goig3D Hello, I found the original posting and plans on the RC Forum, thank you. Sounds like the build requires some skill, of which I have little. You might consider rebuilding and showing a step by step, and selling that as a pdf, leaving the plans out. I am sure you would re-coup your time investment. Thanks Again!

Nice flight, do you have plans?
-
Great flight. The airplane is perfectly trimmed for the flying space.

I really like the foam version you built. Very impressive and looks terrific. I built a Stick and tissue version and flew it outdoors. It only required very little ballast. I flew it right hand circles, the ascent was incredible. GREAT design. I had to alter the area at the stab in order to shim it with a slight positive angle. It worked.

Would you be willing to prepare and sell the plans for your fans?
gbwhitman 11 months ago
@gbwhitman Thanks for the interest, but the plans are not mine to sell, the plans I used were published in the March 1999 issue of the Windy Sock newsletter (search for Windy Sock Born Loser); so if you want to buy the plans you can contact them.
Having said that, the original model is a stick and tissue plane, but since I used foam sheets to build this version I just followed the shape and dimensions on the plan, not the structure.

Where can I get one?

This plane is scratch built, it's not sold anywhere.

how is it that the rubber band powers the propeller for so long?
a normal rubber band would unwind rather fast, no?
CasperInkyMagoo 3 years ago
Well, it isn't a normal rubber band. It's a special kind of rubber used for model airplanes like this (FAI TAN II), a loop about one and half times the length of the fuselage that can take over a thousand turns. Also the propeller can be adjusted for higher or lower pitch, to regulate the torque and unwinding rate.
