Old-timer Sites



Just Plain Fun!
  • Kenny's Old Time Model Airplane Magazine
    My latest find. You won't be disappointed. Trust me. Kenny has created a site that all us Webmasters can envy.
  • The Plan Page
    How about a place where you can get oldtimer scale plans? The Flying Aces Club has done it with scans of some really good stuff. The files are zipped or full PDF format. If I were you, I'd do what the Comet Kid has done. Download this collection and use your CD burner to archive them. I now can realize my dream of building all Earl Stahl's scale designs. After unzipping and printing the pages, it's off to Kinko's to enlarge to the scale I want for electric flying. How about the Fokker DVIII by Harry Shaffer? And, where are you going to get Ying's Fuselage Model?
  • Fiddler's Green
    How would you like a free sailplane? That's right, we said FREE. Click this link and download the Adobe Acrobat® PDF file. (Acrobat software is free from Adobe too.) When you arrive, right click on the image to download. Print it out on an 8 1/2" * 11"sheet of paper. Explore the world of Fiddler's Green paper airplanes - paper airplanes unlike the old Wheaties™ box planes. These are gorgeous and you don't have to eat the cereal! Don't believe us? Check out the images below.

We weren't kidding. This puppy flies!
