Hi gang Am looking for a set of Bi-Plane plans. The Grumman F4B=4 , or F3F , or any other bi=plane , want it for carrier. Might not be the best for carrier but want to build for fun & compete with it. Will pay any copying & shipping expenses if you have somel
Thanks Albert

There was plans for a F4B4 printed in Flying Models( plan #CF354) and was adaptable to carrier. Mike Potter has one and it flies sooo good. He had a meet where Golden Age planes had a separate event. I scratch built a F4B4 and entered one year. I built mine heavy expecting many end over end landings because they do have a short nose and I fly off grass. His was built real light(per the plans) and his low speed was much better than mine. His plane was very simple to build and used a Fox reverse rotation engine and the plane is Nostalgia qualified so you could fly the plane in two events. I'll send him a e-mail and see if he wants to jump in here. eric

If you go this route, the Lone Star Air Museum in Galveston has an F4B-4 in immaculate condition. I'd be happy to take photos for you.
