I haven't come across any links in here for free plans, so I thought maybe folks would like to take a trip down memory lane that wouldn't cost them anything..;)
Now, a LOT of these models will NOT fit S.A.M rules, or Vintage r/c rules but they ARE all vintage. With a Tiling program like BlackFlight Models "Tile Print" they can be enlarged to about any size you want. As far as electrics go, I think about 1970's is as low as they go, and as "vintage" as they get. The point of this thread, is to remember the models you grew up with (IF you're as old as I am :rolleyes: ) and spending your hard-earned $0.25 a week on. Only THIS time around, you can build them, electrify them, and fly them as you only dreamed possible as a kid, watching them fly themselves. And, it doesn't cost you anything but your time, and a bit of your printer paper if you find something you like!:D So, put on your favorite 40's 50's & 60's music, cruise, paroose & enjoy! Bob

Old Timer Section A LOT of nice, Large Span R/C assist converted models and 50's Stunters C/L Convert a stunter to R/C,.. Impress yourself!

Old Topflite JigTime models Like thr Rascal 18 and Carl Goldberg's Ranger 21 All-balsa builds, even a "how-to" print color & panel lines on the balsa just like the origonals using your printer. Enlarge a bit for electric R/C

"House of Frog" Some of the BEST, and prettiest F/F rubber models you'll see! Some can be used for micro R/C electric "as-is"... but enlarged a bit would really shine! V-tails, Deltas, Biplanes, even some nice scale jobs, and a couple VERY pretty scale like gliders.

Vintage Jetex jet fighters. Though Jetex is gone, the Rapier rocket motor is still available... but with the small EDF's around today, enlarge these scale beauties, electrify & R/C them... The Comet plans are a work of art!
(especially the F94C Starfire!)
Well there You have it... enough there to keep you busy a while, and it didn't cost you $9.95 a plan plus shipping. (maybe a pack of letter paper and a printer cartrage, but life isn't "totally free":rolleyes: ;) ) Bob
