Hero 40
Satisfy uour RC appetite with this .40-powered pusher! I am a modeler who likes to design and build different types of aircraft - ones that are interesting, but not too offbeat. I was a draftsman and Computer Aided Design and Drafting operator for 35 years. It's not too difficult for me to sit down at the computer and draw a set of plans, and I've been building and flying RC airplanes for more than 30 years. This project uses proven construction techniques that produce a strong, light, fast-building model.
Brooklyn Annie
ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO I designed an aircraft that has been the most versatile airplane I have ever had. I have flown it as a taildragger, a trike, with retracts, and without. I have used it with one and with two engines, from .30-.45. It even flew well with a Wankel .30. It became so popular among my fellow club members that I made kits and sold all I had. They liked it because they could teach their sons and still enjoy it themselves. Brooklyn Annie (named for my birthplace and my wife) is a gentle airplane but is maneuverable enough to do knife-edge. It can handle all basic maneuvers, including a rolling circle.
Rear
Do you like the Long-EZ canard, but you don't want to build a Scale airplane? Did I hear you say that you want to fly something different, but you want it to fly as good as your Sunday flier? The Rear Wind is just what you are looking for. The Rear Wind is my fifth-generation canard pusher. It started about four years ago with a 1/4-scale version of Jim Parrish's Dart. The planform of the wing is now a modified delta; I retained the original airfoil of the Dart. The canard was designed to be mounted with three 6-32 machine screws so I could change the incidence readily.
