I remember the series but have never seen any plans for them. The Frog kit was similar (attached)

Hi Guys,

I already did a search and came up with nothing...............

My 1st "wood" C/L model was a Scientific "King Cobra".  It was a profile (I have another kit!) and a 27" WS.  I knowthere was also a Hurricane but I don't really remember if there was a P-51D. ( )  If there was, does anyone know of a set of plans? 

I intend to build the King Cobra before I leave this rock!  I will use an extended tank Black Widow, probably.  All depends on how much will go inside the cowl.  If not it will probably get a Killer Bee clone with a separate tank.

Thanks!

Bill,

I am not sure exactly what you are looking for.  I have the plans for the Scientific P-63 1/2A profile by Walt Musciano.  The kit had a plastic cowl that fit over the engine that faired into the spinner.  I built mine from scratch and made that cowl from a solid block of balsa.  It bolts on to the same firewall that the engine bolts on to.  I get to the mounting bolts from the front when the spinner is off of the engine.  I have a Black Widow on mine.  Wing is built up and is kind of flimsy, but it holds up OK.   Painted it in Russian coloring and markings.  It flies quite nice.  Can do a loop.

Musciano had a whole series of these things and at one time, you could order plans from him.  (These were copies of the Scientific kit plans.)  I have a listing of all of his designs that were published in the magazines as well as all of the Scientific kits that he designed.

That list has about 61 Scientific kits with a carved fuselage and solid wings.  In the series of Scientific kits with the P-63 which have a profile fuselage and built-up wings, the listing includes

Kingpin, Jr - 1/2A
Curtiss Warhawk - 1/2A
Grumman Gulfhawk - 1/2A
Cessna Skyhawk - 1/2A
Combat Ace - 1/2A
Super Mustang - .049 - .099
Custom Special - .09 -.19 sport/Combat
Cessna 210 -36" span Glider
Circle Master  1/2A

Then, there are listings for Profile fuselage/solid wing - 3 kits
Built-up fuselage/built-up wing - 7 kits
Carved fuselage/Built-up wing - 3 kits
Built-up fuselage/solid wing - 3 kits.

Scientific RC kits  - 4 kits

He did a P-51 with a carved fuselage, solid wing, 1/2A for Consolidated models

He did the plans for a P-38, carved balsa nacelles and nose, for twin .09 -.19 for Berkeley.  (I have this kit.)

Other kits are listed for some RC kits

the listing I have has all of his articles for the magazines, the list of his books, etc which number in the hundreds.  Remarkable!!!

The only Hurricane design listed was the 3/4" scale version published in Air Trails as part of the "Triple Threat Package in Air Trails, Sep 53.  He did write an article on the airplane and one of its pilots for Air Progress, Dec63/Jan 64.

Bill,

I just thought that my post above only addressed the Musciano designs, including those in the Scientific catalog.  Scientific might have had a Hurricane in that profile fuselage/built-up wing range.

There is a Scientific advertisement, MAN, Nov 64, that shows a 19" Hurricane, with a built up wing and fuselage.  Evidently, this is one that does not have Musciano's name on it.  I have no idea how to find plans for that one.

Thought you would like to know.

Found this AD in a 1962 issue of AAM. Never built any and have never run across a plan
