Jiro Sugimoto's rendition of my Peanut Scale Amethyst Falcon plan. The site features scale free flight models of aircraft which were designed, built or flown in Australia (plus some other odds and ends). All the plans featured have been designed using CAD, and are free of charge. You can download them in Adobe Acrobat format, print them out and build them...
A scale free-flight model of the Gippsland Aeronautics GA-8 Airvan. Most of the plans are designed for rubber power, and a couple of them show details of how to install electric power. Sizes range from Peanut Scale (330 mm or 13" span) up to 760 mm (30") span. Not all of the plans featured have been "flight tested" yet (but since they are offered for free, its "caveat emptor"!!).
My Peanut Scale free-flight model of the Amsco Monoplane. As well as scale Free Flight models of Australian aircraft, the site also features:
- A large list of links to sites with free downloadable plans for Free Flight models (not just FF scale models)
- Several editions of the FAC 65 "Small Scale Squadron Down Under" newsletter (no longer being updated)
