This is just one of over 3 dozen plans loaned to me from Richard and Kathryn D. from Alaska to restore, for which I will be eternally grateful for.
I received one interesting letter about this plane that I wish to share with you.
Dear uncle-willies,
I built one of these with R.C. assist from this plan about 20 years ago (She is still in near flying condition) and a .60 is WAAY too much power! Mine had an O.S..35-S at first, then a FOX .40 Sch. Both have plenty of power for this model- Mine is silk/ silkspan covered and weighs about 7 pounds! If flying ignition, then a .60 would be right. The Fox .40, with a 10/6 EW prop will pull mine almost vertically, the model will not fly level with full power unless the elevator is held almost full down. Thanks! -OLDGERG-
P.S. In the late '30s my flying buddy's father belonged to the same model club (The Cleveland BALSA BUTCHERS) as Chet Lanzo!!
Moose and Squirrel not included.

This is one of my strangest plane plans in my collection.
Included is a copy of the original 1938 Mechanix Illustrated magazine article. This article serves as a very good construction manual... WOW .... Their is even a short article discussing the worlds longest "electric stairway" being built at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Lots of really cool old advertisements are also included on the pages. I like to leave that kind of stuff in my articles as they are part of the past history and are of historical significant when relating to that era.
BIG 120" wing span. 1360 sq.in. 57 " length. Weight, just 6.25 lbs. Fixed landing gear with big 4.5" main wheels. 2 sheets. Plane may be flown with a 3 channel RC system as a functional elevator and rudder are shown on the plans. Power: A Brown Jr. with a 14-8 pusher prop was used on the original back in 1939. The airfoil is under cambered so no flaps are needed on this 'big bird'. Wings unplug from the center section and it looks like the tail is removable too. That is one strange looking fuselage. Kinda looks like a car!
Easy to build, easy to fly and easy to transport. And, you will be the only one at the field to have one! This is a must have plan for your collection.
These are 3 high resolution TIFF files containing 200 x 200 dots per inch.
Two files will print a plan 36" x 58" and the other file will print a plan 36" x 57".
This plan includes a REVERSED WING SHEET for building the left wing panel on.
The Wing sheet is not shown below.
Included is a 4 page magazine article for free. This article you will also receive by email and may be printed out using your personal printer.
If you have any doubts about this new technology or the purchase or this plan, I will send you the wing sheet for FREE. No purchase is required.
Files $10.00

That is one beautiful looking airfoil. Just look at that simple and elegant construction. Easy to build, easy to fly. And economical to build and fly too!
The Red Zephyr designed in 1937 by Herb Greenberg, a notable contest flyer and winner of his day.
74" Wing span. Beautiful and rare old free flight plan that begs to be converted to RC and flown again.

The original plan was a real "train wreck" full of crooked lines, missing lines, flaws and covered in extra ink. It took me days to correct and redraw this plan. To see a sample of the original plan, look at the upper left hand corner of the plan for the dirty box. ( just above the engine)
Why anybody would be hawking such junk in the first place is beyond decency and conscientiousness.
Every draftsman and plan builder should feel offended by even seeing such a "train wreck" of a plan offered for sale. Ebay is loaded with such junk and fakes.
Ebay is a scam artist dream come true.
Don't you be scammed into buying an inferior copy of this plan.
HUGE 109" wing span. 14" chord. Around 1,480 sq. inches. Power: .60 glow
This is a high resolution TIF file containing 200 x 200 dots per inch.
The file will print a sheet 36" x 71".

This "Dallaire Sportster" sports a 108 inch wingspan. It was designed in 1936 and flown as a SAM antique. L.A.'s plane is a past national champion and has never placed lower than fifth place in a contest of The Society of Antique Modelers. It is powered by a Fox 60 Eagle 1 non-Schnuerle ported engine. After a very brief takeoff, the plane is guided straight up for 43 seconds, then the motor is shut down. The ship now begins to glide like a sailplane for ten to fifteen or more minutes. It is quite an exciting sight.
Gerard built his plane from my plans. You could too.
From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our path for a while
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving
Oh how lonely, how sad it will be?
Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking
And the grief you are causing to me
As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
And the love we exchanged mid the flowers
