This is a Flying Models magazine plan from 1955
One plan has a 62" wing span and the other plan has been enlarged 125% to fit the 36" wide paper. It has a 77" wing span. Both plans do come with the magazine article. A BOM is printed on the plan and below with the construction article.
Would you like that super sized?
Just be sure to tell me which wing span you want. The original 62" or the super-sized 77" wing span plan.
These are high resolution TIFF files containing 200 x 200 dots per inch. The original 62" wing span file will print a plan 36" x 87". The Super Sized 77" wing span file will print a plan 36" x 108".
either File $5.00
May I super size that for you?

This is the largest glider plan I have ever seen! The plan will print out on 36" wide paper and 95" long. I have purposely not shown the old magazine cover as several eBayers have a tradition of scanning the image of the plan from the magazine and then listing the image of the plan as a copy of the real plan. What total idiots! It is always amazing to see their listing the next day. If selling plans on eBay was a race, I would always be the winner, which makes them all ?

Hi Willie, Just finished printing the Merlyn very impressive and of top quality.
Thanks again to you for providing a unique service to us guys who still like to get glue on our fingers and balsa shavings on the shop floor...
Best regards

Printing plans and selling them is alot like arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Soon there will be nobody left to sit in them!
(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung..........)
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung.….)
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung)
Mr. Sandman (male voice: “Yesss?) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a “come-hither” gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr Sandman, bring us a dream.
(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung….)

90" wing span. 67" Length. 16" chord. 1/4 scale. Weight only 11 lbs. Engine .90-1.20.
KISS designed and drawned. And the struts are so easy to build and put on. No cowl to buy. You build your own cowl, and landing gear too. No windshield to form. Great plans for the first timer. I fly mine with just a Saito .65 four stroke, but I am going to put in a Saito .90 to liven things up.
Add a few ribs for a full wing version? Add wheel pants for style and beauty.

FUN SCALE
HUGE 100" wing span with a whopping 1,804 sq. in. of wing area. Power is an economical .60 swinging a 12-6. Weight is only 10 lbs. The wing airfoil is a clark "Y" type. The cowl is built using balsa but the plans do show the construction of a brass engine cover for "looking good".
The Curtiss Jenny became America's most famous World War I training airplane. Generally used for primary flight training, some Jennies were equipped with machine guns and bomb racks for advanced training.
With America's entry into WWI on April 6, 1917, the Signal Corps ordered large quantities of JN-4s, and by the time production was terminated after the Armistice, more than 6,000 had been delivered, the majority of them JN-4Ds.
After WWI, the Army sold hundreds of surplus JN-4s to civilians. The airplane soon became the mainstay of the "barnstormers" of the 1920s, and many Jennies continued flying into the 1930s.

She came in at about 5.6lbs. Powered by an OS 51 four stroke. She's built from plans,,,several of them collected and consolidated to one plan, reduced in size to about a standard 40 size airplane. Modified also , to look like my Dad's.
My Dad,,James Wilpers,, owned a real one of these in the 40's and took me up for my first flight ever sitting on a Sears and Roebuck Catalog in the front while he flew her from the rear seat. The Aeronca Co also built a Chief model,,a side by side seater. Dad's was powered by a 65 HP Continental, I believe.
