Scale RC Modeler Magazine SRC

-
Scale R/C Modeler magazine is another USA based scale magazine that went kaput in the 2000's. SRC magazine had many good warbird plans and articles. There doesn't seem to be that many online posts of articles or plans from this magazine, a specific search for a certain article or plans that was in SRC may yield a hit. Good luck!

Dave Platt Me109 Bf109 Part 1

The 1/5 scale Dave Platt Me-109 was a game changer. A model of this type arrived at our local in 1980 and it seemed huge compared to the 60 size warbirds were were flying. This 109 was powered by a OS 90 glow engine. The plans are not sold separately though one can find used copies or a pdf on the web. Belair Kit Cutters in the UK handle the Dave Platt line of short kits. The plans feature all wood construction. There are many build threads on the web, gas, glow and electric powered, just google Dave Platt ME109. Flying qualities are said to be good.

Brian Taylor Warbird Plans

The Brian Taylor Warbird plans are now available again on retail. Probably one of the best know warbird plan designers, Brian Taylor used to sell his own plans in the UK or through Bob Hollman in the USA. Brain Taylor then sold the plans rights to Traplet Publications. Traplet Publications went into receivership in 2017 and it appears that Sarik Hobbies are now selling the plans, short kits, accessories that Traplet used to sell. Quite a few modellers got stung when Traplet went under when they places orders and did not receive the merchandise so in this day of online ordering be aware of your credit card policies on these type of transactions.
