Well I have only three issues of this mag from the 70's. Only two have CLPA planes.  They have been listed in other threads, but for here, I list them again.


Feb 71; "YAK 9D"; H.C. Quek;  Merco.35; 54.5"ws; (side view of plans looks very much like an Oriental)

Apr 78;  "Chipmonk"; Peter Tindal; .35; 57"ws; 688 sq"; I-beam. SS; take apart  model. (Note, the"O" in ChipmOnk is not a typo)..

So, who collects these mags and can do the research, don't be bashful. 

I have a number of Aeromodeller annuals from the '70's, they have stunt designs from all over Europe in them, and other parts of the world!
When I can work out how to scan them into this Apple mac laptop, I'll put them on here!

Neville,

I have a complete set of the Aeromodeller Annuals.  Let me know which pages you would like to see here and I will see what I can do to get them on this site.

Hello friends,
I was just stumpling over this thread. Since you seem on the search for designs suitable for Nostalgia, I can give you some help. I have all Aeromodeller  issues since 1960. So I picked those designs which fit this time period (30 years and older). There are too many designs to list here, it would take me weeks to find them all. So I have picked only those serious aerobatic airplanes which allow a competent FAI/AMA schedule and left out all others. Not just by chance there are also some of my own designs included.
60:  Skua / Christopher
       Spitfire/ Pentland
61:  Stuka/Still
       U2/Warburton
62:  Stampe/ Warburton
63:  Moskwa/ Sirotki
65:  Nakke/ Kari
       Mustang/ Bjornwall
67:  Supermaster/ Gabris

       Heinkel 100/ Cappi

       Kittyhawk/ Draper

       JU 87/ Dyke
78:  Tango/ Compostella
       Chipmunk/ Tindal
79:  Crescendo/ Maikis
Aeromodeller doesn’t exist anymore. But some of these old plans are still available at:

I have a set of Yak-9 plans, but they're probably second or third generation copies, since my rib spacings on both the inside and outside wings are uneven/distorted. I don't know whether they're dimensioned  metrically or in inches, which complicates reverse engineering further. Can either of you measure the root and and outboard rib spacings along each wing and clue me in on the intended spacings? I'd really appreciate it, and probably can get things somewhat in proportion from these measurements.

My other question was whether the plane is classic legal. The article appeared in the 2/71 issue, meaning that the plane was flown during the 1970 season, but was it designed or built before then? Dave Day used to see Mr. Quek periodically at meets, but I guess he came up empty handed on the dates. Does anyone have a clue about the design date. 'neat and very attractive classically proportioned plane!

Thanks, much, guys.
