Here is a picture of a picture of my Cheap Thrill 1/2A stunt airplane published in Model Aviation, December 1998.  Plans available from AMA.

It really is nice! Can you, describe a few details?
I would like to know about th efuse construction.

I've always loved the look of elliptical wings.  Just hate the geometry of it, and respectively unique ribs.  Foam to the rescue!

As George said, the article is available on the AMA website.  The fuselage was built in two pieces because the wing is so thick.  The wing was built, covered, etc. and the front end glued on, then the rear end. the top was either sheeted or planked.  Today, I would mold a top.  The plans were drawn by Frank Beatty and are a work of art. 

The first one was crashed due to a line break.  The wing and flaps survived (suggests that the wing is overbuilt).  I still have the second one. Unfortunately, I painted it with unplasticized Aerogloss and it needs a complete recover job.  Wingspan is 36 in, weight around 11 -12 oz.  TD 049 on pressure.  Flew it on 42 ft 008 lines.  I don't fly hourglasses very well, but I flew a 40-pointer with the first airplane.  Of course, I was alone at the field at the time.     

If Eric does the kit I will have to get on the list.  That is one cute little 1/2A.  DOC Holliday

like to have in a kit also!

It has more or less a P-40 tail.  Change the tail shape and it would be pretty Spitfire like. If you blew it up 1 1/3 you would have a 48 in span airplane about right for a modern 25 or a Fox 35.  1 1/2 would give 54 in span for a 40 or 46.  Do a little revamping on the nose to fit the engine and get the CG in the right place, web the spars and maybe change a few wood thicknesses.

Sorry, it is in the "Members Only" section.  

That alone allmost makes the Membership fee acceptable.

Hi Jim,
After a bit of a marathon, I finally got the plans. I built it pretty light, just over 10oz and it flies far better than I can. Wasp 0.61 for powera 45 feet lines and just enjoy!
