Post by: Dan McEntee on June 04, 2017, 05:18:43 PM: Yeah, that's cool! That was in a late 60's Model Airplane News wasn't it? I remember lusting after that when I checked out the magazine from the library book mobile ( I guess they still have those?) Our club has been dabbling in 1/2A scale and I've had that in the back of my mind for a long time, just never got to it. as usual. Can you tell me the issue it was in to shorten the search? That should have the plan number also. I have a bunch of M.A.N. plans
Type at you later,

Post by: Dan Berry on June 04, 2017, 05:33:14 PM: Hey Dan, I just flew it. Steve Staples built it. I think the plans are on Outerzone plan site.
It wouldn't take off with the first engine. It is flying with a strong engine and needed all of the 40 foot runway to get airborn.
I'll check with Steve on the plans.

Note the tail number........

Wound up with a 5x3 Grish.
It wouldn't go with the 3blade in the still.

Post by: Steve Thornton on July 05, 2017, 03:25:47 PM: Very cool! "N" numbers ending with "AA" most often were originally purchased from American Airlines. I noticed the eagle on the tail...was that inspired by the Postal Aircraft?
