My Fellow Modelers,
I am sharing here my templates of many stunt planes’ design which I drew over the years. Hope this would be somehow a helpful resource for your future control line modeling journeys.
Recently, I thought gathering all these drawings somewhere but my computer could be a great archival source which could enable others to utilize these templates too. This actually makes me very happy. Therefore I decided to share them in "Stunt Hanger; Model Library" with fellow modelers.
Thank You,
Sina
Sina,
What a tremendous resource you have given to the CL Aerobatics community.
I have some material that you might be interested in. Back in the 1960's, Pete Soule was the editor for the Round and Round column for Model Airplane News. For a period of about 6 months, his column showed small outline drawings of some of the "significant" stunt designs at that time including the Thunderbird, Nobler, Klapinski's Tempest, and others. These small drawings were based on the work by Jim Mayfield from Southern California who was one of the better fliers in that area at that time. Jim had prepared something like 40 or more line drawings to 1/8 scale of a wide variety of stunt ships, published and unpublished. These were all line drawings with no construction details that gave the name of the airplane, its designer, and year. I have a copy of those line drawings. You have some of those airplanes in what you have presented here, but some of these are not in your library.
If you would be interested in getting a copy of this collection, I would be glad to send you a copy. I also have a large number of small drawings of more stunt designs that have appeared in the magazines over the years that were not construction articles and are not in your listings. Most of these show dimensions. The sources include Model Airplane News, American Aircraft Modeler, Flying Models, Aeromodeller, the Aeromodeller Annual and some other sources. I can send you a copy of this material as well. In all, there are probably over 100 pages I could send you.
You could send me your address on the Message board.
