Hello everyone,

New here but not to the forum scene or Control Line. I am looking for a 1/2a (.049) or 1/4a (.020) CL combat plane. Specifically for the Cox reed valve engine line. More specifically for a Killer Bee block with a tank and a Pee Wee. I prefer plans. Cannot afford kits and love scratch building. There is a 1/4a plane called the Lil Stingray. I was really wanting to build this but the only plan I can get is an image file. Does anyone have a pdf?

Thanks, Rolla

I have the plans for the Lil Satan. I was looking more for something different. Old Timey perhaps. I recently built on called George. Has a rather thin airfoil. It was from an old article in a magazine that someone posted online. But yeah, I have had the Satan suggested quite a bit. May be a reason for that.

Check the Carlson Engine Imports website, I bought a foam 1/2 A combat plane kit from them several years ago.

I think I am just going to try the Lil Hacker. It comes with two planes and the covering material. I have a couple of different engines to try. Anyone have experience with this plane? Got any tips?

I would do that except I doubt I could build light enough. Never thought to weigh my planes. I would also rather it be for a reed engine. Thanks though.

Does anyone have plans for the Kitten? I have considered building it many times, but could never get a hold of the plans.

Consider the "Dragonfly", published in Model Aviation Feb 1989. It is an all sheet combat design designed specifically for the Cox Black Widow engine. Maneuverable enough for combat, tame enough that a relative beginner can fly it, and over grass...practically indestructable. Mine is on loan right now to a friend who is using it to learn to fly inverted.  They can be built in a couple nights as well.
