Charles Mackey's Crop Duster Bipe Plans
« on: September 06, 2018, 06:13:11 AM »
I have a friend who is looking for a set of Charles Mackey's Crop Duster Bipe plans. I believe the plans were available through PAMPA at one time but I cannot access the PAMPA plans site.  Can anyone tell me how I can get a set of these plans?

Thanks,

"Charles Mackey's Crop Duster Bipe"???  Did Charles ever do a "Crop Duster Bipe"  George Aldrich did a semi-scale crop duster, but is was not a biplane.

From the Charles Mackey AMA Hall of Fame bio. There is picture of the plane at the end of the document.

Charles did that design as his version of the BiSlob.   It is obviously different, but performed quite similarly to the BiSlob. Since I had some experience with the BiSlob, Charles wanted an opinion on the flight characteristics of his plane.    It was a lot of fun to fly!!   I tried to cut the streamer, but wasn't quite able to do that.   It was a great day!!

I would like to thank everyone for the background information. I received a call this weekend and a friend of mine in Pennsylvania has a copy of these plans. Like most of Charles Mackey's designs, it is unique and interesting.

Thanks
