Long Midget Mustang
HISTORY: In 1948 Dave Long, chief engineer with Piper Aircraft at the time, designed and built an all metal racer which he called the Midget Mustang. The public debut of the aircraft was at the 1948 Cleveland National Air Races. The closed course midget racers had a minimum weight of 500 lbs., minimum wing area of 66 sq. ft., fixed gear, at least a 6G structure, and the powerplants were limited to stock 190 cubic inch engines.
The prototype Midget Mustang #67 was close in the competition, taking 2nd in the elimination heat. Engine problems caused Dave Long to drop out of the finals however. He went on to build a prototype production aircraft and had made an arrangement with Schweizer Aircraft to produce the design before his untimely death in 1950. The Midget Mustang is well known for its air racing legacy during the late '40s and early '50s.

HISTORY: The first production Travel Air B established such a good reputation in the First National (Ford) Air Tour in 1925 that the company sold 19 the same year. In 1928 the model B was designated the Model 2000. Orders increased until 1930, when Model 2000 production ceased, with 1,550 built. One of the classic aircraft of the late 1920s, the Travel Air 2000 replaced the aging Curtiss Jenny trainer that was fast becoming ragged due to its popularity on the barnstorming circuit. Designed with the local airport operator in mind, the rugged, all-purpose trainer was produced with a liquid-cooled, V-8 Curtiss OX-5 engine, one of the most economical and available due to the large military surpluses. It is not surprising that the Travel Air was a good airplane considering that Walter Beech, Clyde Cessna, and Lloyd Stearman were all involved in its design and production. This resource of talent produced an aircraft that was known for reliability, ease of maintenance, and a delight to fly. With a range of 425 miles, barnstormers could hop passenger rides in and out of small fields all day. Also notice the huge balanced ailerons giving the plane the nickname Old Elephant Ears.

HOBBY HELPERS #555
Over 8 hours went into restoring and preserving this really interesting radio controlled delta model airplane plan.
Wing span 35", Power seem low, plans call for .074 to a .09 This gal must really float? Building instructions and a BOM (Bill Of Materials) printed on the plans. Sweet! The magazine article is included as if you had to ask....
The plan could be enlarged some-what buy clipping off the name and printing to the boarder. Your printer can do this depending on their skill (education & training) and intelligence level, which by the norms, seems kind of universally low? Dunno why? Just the nature of the business I reckon. Kinda like burger joints.
I would also advise you to snip off the ribs while at the printers and make 7 copies of those.
This is a high resolution TIFF file containing 200 x 200 dots per inch. The file will print 1 sheet 36" x 53".
File $5.00 or 5 big ones?
Your picture would go here.
Gag me with a spoon mate!
I meant a nice picture of your plane!
ARHG, MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

de Havilland D.H. 60 Cirrus Moth plans.
55" wing span. Power .40 - .45 44" length. Weight: 5 - 6.5 lbs. Wing loading 17.25. Wing area 800 sq. in.
Just the right size for an economical plane to build and fly. Wings show brass pivots. You simply pull the forward pins and the wings swing to the rear just as they did on the real planes
I have scanned part of the fuselage in an attempt to show you the EXCELLENT quality of this plan. Notice the proper thickness of the lines and the exceptional clarity of detail. Their is just one name for this type of work. It is called OUTSTANDING. And I one happy Rebel to be able to share this MAGNIFICENT work of art with you. You deserve to have this plan in you collection, even if you no desire to ever build the plane. And please, keep this item stored rolled in that nice looking tube.
As a plan collector, I was really excited to get this plan in a trade from Jeff *******. This is one of the finest plans you will EVER see. The 2 men who originally drew this plan where so proud of their work that they SIGNED their names to on the plans! So it is with great pride that I am able to save and restore this SUPERB piece of art and share it with you all.
As a draftsman, I wish I could have apprenticed under this MASTER DRAFTSMAN, as all I ever drew in college is those #@^&*%$ "widgets". I still hate that name "widget"! ,,,,, ARG! ,,,, I am having a widget flash back right now! NURSE, 1 LITER OF RASPBERRY ZINFANDEL STAT........ Ahhhhh, happy hour. hehe.
HISTORY: In February 1925, a prototype of the De Havilland Moth flew in Britain and was recognized as an outstanding trainer. Quickly put into full production, the aircraft was manufactured with a variety of different engines, the most popular of which being the A.D.C. Cirrus and D.H. Gipsy engines. Depending on the engine installation chosen, the aircraft was then either known by either the Gipsy Moth, Cirrus Moth, Genet Moth, etc names.
