PlansI have been looking for the plan of the Calypso Cub. It was the first Free Flight model I built and as the NSWFFS Inc. is having an event this year called Diesel Duration, I thought I would build it. Mike Woodhouse put me onto a site in England where a lot of plans are available. Try this site Aircraft Artwork, for Vintage Free Flight & Control Line Plans.
Aeromodelling Trail Blazers
There is a new Trail Blazers Page which hopefully will show models that have changed the course of aeromodelling over the years. If you have plans of any such models and you would like them on the page please send me a copy and some details of the plane and designer.The New South Wales Free Flight Society Plans Album
There are 2 new plans on the Plans Page thanks to Sergio Montes. They are the models that won the World Championships in 1954 and 1958 for Australia. This page now has thumbnails.
About meMy name is Barry Lee, I am the Registrar of the New South Wales Free Flight Society and I hope this will become the meeting place for any modeller interested in Free Flight in NSW.
