Paul,
Interesting subject.
The article that Joe Bowman introduced above on the F-84 is excellent and is a good introduction to build and fly one of these models.
There are several others that have been published over the years. These are all about the same size as the F-84 and show the same type of "propulsion" rod and bellcrank/pushrod control as the F-84.
Walt Musciano's book, Building and flying Scale Model Aircraft, has an article and 1/2 full size plans for the Bell X-1 Rocket. A neat package.
The Sep 78 issue of Model Builder magazine had an article by Dave Kingman for a whip control model he called the Cobra. Full size drawings and similar control system.
The Jan 79 issue of Model Aviation had an article by John Hunton for an F-15 whip control model. Plans were not full size but could easily be enlarged to whatever size you want. Capable of loops and inverted flying.
There may be more in the magazines, but this is what I have. Based on any of these, one could develop his own design with little trouble.
If anyone is interested, I can try to scan these drawings and post here. Or, I can mail a copy if anyone wants. The only thing is that the F-84 article does everything that these others do. Plus that F-84 is really a neat looking model. (Well, they all look pretty neat.)
