Lacey M10
You can order the Lacey M10 plan at www.myhobbystore.com When Joe Lacey designed and built his little M.10 back in the late 50s and early 60s for the American home-built market he couldn’t have imagined that it would become more popular as a model than it ever did as a full-size. Although hundreds of plans…

Toot Sweet
You can buy the Toot Sweet plan at myhobbystore.com About ten years ago I designed a 25″ span biplane that flew on a 1.5cc diesel engine. This model, which performed nicely but was definitely not for those of a nervous disposition, was published in Radio Modeller as a free plan called Yuppy Love. Yuppy Love was…

Whizzza
The Whizzza plan can be purchased at My Hobby Store.com Whizzza is a 42″ span, direct descendent of my 32″ span Fizza featured in the May 2005 issue of RCM&E.

Zero and Corsair
This is the fourth in my dogfight double series, and one that, quite frankly, Ive been itching to do. Since beginning the series some five years ago with the Spitfire and Me109 the pace of electric flight technology has cracked on relentlessly, with seemingly no bounds. The early models relied on Speed-400 brushed motors, Gunther…

Aerovan
Fast and furious… no, that doesn't describe the model, merely the way this design went from drawing board to RCM&E free plan. Heres the scene: Friday, five o'clock, and our esteemed editor calls in a panic. Due to unforeseen circumstances (!) we need a free plan for the next issue – any ideas?…

Hawker Typhoon
The plan, wood pack and mouldings for this model can be purchased at myhobbystore.com Click here to go to the Typhoon build photos page. Early in 2007 the ed. took me to one side and asked if Id be happy to design a model, the subject of which was to be decided by RCM&E readers.…

Edge 540
The Edge 540 plan or Dec 2008 back issue can be purchased at www.myhobbystore.com. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Zivko Edge. With a couple of successful smaller prototypes already under my belt I wanted to raise the bar a little, to see how far I could take a few sheets of foam…

Limit EX
The Limit EX plan can be purchased at www.myhobbystore.com Many moons ago, I was out slope soaring, when one of the lads produced an entire model from his rucksack. One or two of the gang smiled knowingly as this tiny little aircraft – which was all of 18″ span – was committed to a 35mph blow.…

Fizza by Nigel Hawes
The Fizza plan can be purchased at www.myhobbystore.com As electric motors get more powerful and efficient, and battery capacities go up and their weight comes down, its very easy to get carried along by the mania for the latest and greatest gear. Before you know it, you find that you've lashed out far more money…
