Julio,

Welcome!

Did you mean .15cc and .25cc ?

I would think he meant 1.5cc  or 2.5cc  that is a .09 or a .15 size engine.  I am sure some one will respond with a source for the plans.

John,

Guess I have my CC's mixed up.  n~

I just picked up a Balsa USA Mustang kit.

The Mustang is a great aircraft to model, in any size.

I have taken plans that show a full bodied model and just build the profile fuselage to match the side shape on the plans. You can almost take any set of plans even if they are too small or large and have a copy made to the size you want. FedEx/Kinkos has large copiers that can enlarge and shrink plans and 3-views. just make sure the outlines are good enough if you plan on entering any contests with it.

Or you can take your favorite 3-view and have that enlarged to the span you want.

This our CL club website here in St Louis with some info or CL scale. When I built the B-29 model I just enlarged the 3-view to the size I wanted and then sketched in the construction techniques on that copy.

A modern 2.5cc engine will produce as much power as a 1950's 3cc engine (if anyone had made such, then).  So you may want to mention the specific engine, or engines, that you have in mind and ask for what's a good plane size.

Outerzone has a good plans listing.  So does Hip Pocket Aeronautics.

Try this.  There's a bunch of rubber freeflight planes in the list, but also some CL planes about the right size:

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.
