I like to build 1/2A planes from my youth but as you well know most of those have gone into history never to re-appear. Two of my favorites were the Sterling 1/2A P-38 and the Demeco A/2. A P-38 kit on the bay never goes for less then $100.00 and I'm too cheap to pay the price, but a generous winner of one traced the parts for me. I also got plans for the A-2. So in a moment of nostalgia I was looking at these and while they are nice they are a little too small for todays motors. No one wants to fly a P-38 on baby bees and only do loops with it and the A/2 as designed won't fit Cox motors on it.
Now to the point I am going to increase the size of these just slightly to accomodate more modern motors and of course they should fly better with more wing area. Heck I'm not even the first on the A/2 a fellow club member is doing the same and has his just about done. If I manage to get this done who else would wnat to fly a twin that will fit in your car. I think that Frank carlisle should have a 1/2A LA Heat to fit in his truck, how about it Frank.?
The beauty of 1/2A is that you could have every plane you ever wanted without needing another house just to house them.
