Volksplane
Want an excuse to try RC Electric? This 20th-anniversary model of Bill Evans' VW-powered Volksplane couldn't be a better one. Set up for a geared 05 cobalt motor on seven cells, the 54-in.-span airplane is as lightweight, soundly constructed, and stable in flight as Evans' original design. It's been 20 years since Bill Evans first introduced the Volksplane. Since that time, literally hundreds of the VW-powered birds have emerged from basements, garages, and workshops around the world. Possibly no other design has done more to promote homebuilt aircraft that the Volksplane, prompting many a would-be home-builder to turn fantasy into reality. Simplicity was Bill Evans' watchword. He wanted a sound, stable flying machine that could be built with nothing more than common hand tools. No welding, fiberglassing, or metal pounding - just a drill, a screwdriver, and some glue.
