Does anybody know if there has ever been a small plane designed for the Cox .010 engine? A friend just found one and is looking for plane for it.

Do a search on these forums. There have been lists posted on several occassions.
To answer your question:
Yes.
There have been a number of models designed for the Cox .010 engine.
There are even some for CL and have been published.
For these such lists, you might have to go back a year or more.

The .010 would fly the Queen Bee bipe. I use a .020 Pee Wee but I feel the .010 makes good power. The Wee One is a full bodied stunter designed for the .010. Ken

I sell several laser cut kits for the Cox TD 010. Those include a profile scale F82 twin. These kits all use a sheet wing. There is a Micro Ringmaster, Micro Ringmaster Bipe, Micro Flite Streak, F82, Micro Sopwith Camel, Micro Fokker Dr1.

Randy Heydon published the Little Bit. It was a fully aerobatic stunter capapble of the full pattern. He commented on it in this forum recently, so do a search and ye shall find.

You could scale this bad boy down. Wouldn't have far to go, it's already small.

Not a particularly good recommendation. That Stiletto was for 1/2A Proto which at the time it was published, rules required a minimum span of 14 inches and a minimum area of 45 sq in. That design, like all 1/2A protos had a thin solid wing and an extension shaft almost 3 inches long with a bearing to carry the shaft behind the propeller. The engine was buried in the fuselage with the head of the engine behind the wing LE. Hardly a practical subject to adapt for the TD .010 unless the builder realy wants to do something different. If that is the case, the builder would probably not be asking about designs for these engines.
It is/was a neat airplane. From American Aircraft Modeler, Dec 70.

Keith,
Absolutely and I agree. ;D
However, I don't understand your conclusion about the model I suggested? ???
The recommendation was fine. Richard's inquiry made no mention of competition or entering the model in any event. "Rules," and I'm asked all the time why I never competed. LL~
I'm actually drawing that model up for a larger size engine, giving no considering to any rules to do it.

Queen Bee by Larry Scranzzi
if you do decide on a queen bee, the span should be 11 inches
a scanned and reprinted page for me resulted in a slightly smaller model

When I was a teenager I made a .010 control line using the horizontal tail from a crashed Jr. Falcon. Home made ply bell crank. Did real basic stunts. I did the same thing with a falcon 56 tail and a .049. That flew rather well.

I would go with the Queen Bee or the Wee Wun. (sp?) Also the micro models Pat King has available.
