1910 - Lillian Bland Mayfly NEW!! Notable for being the project of a lady pilot, this pusher biplane was only marginally capable of flight. Roger Teagarden's plans for a 27.5" model can be purchased through the SAMS catalog (reference K1734) or through the Flying T Model Company (ref FTMC-027). The book "Pioneer Aircraft 1903-1914" by Kenneth Munsen has a nice 3-view and article about the Mayfly. |

1910 - Fabre Hydravion Looking like a flying fretwork, this remarkable oddity became the first successful seaplane! Francis Reynolds' plans for a magnificent radio controlled 1/8th scale model were featured in the March 1984 "Model Builder". Definitely not for the beginner. Reprints can be purchased from Bill Northrop. Plans for Bill
Stroman's free flight model, which spans 34" and is powered by a .020 gas
engine, appeared in the Sept 1976 "Flying Models" magazine. Contact
me if you want a copy. |
