I AM NOT SELLING A KIT,
only a new, full-size copy of the
Midwest TRI-SQUIRE
PLAN
to build a 51" wingspan model airplane.
Of all the really old time RC designs that one could choose to build and know you'll find success and enjoyable flying, the TRI-SQUIRE is one of your best choices. It’s a 3-channel RC with a 51" span (no ailerons), a slightly swept back rudder and fin, a symmetrical airfoiled stabilizer with a full length narrow elevator.
The original power was a great old K & B .15 Greenhead Torpedo engine. Those engines didn't have a throttle. Don't plan to build today's flat plate stabilizer instead of the symmetrical airfoil shown on the plans. The performance will suffer. This design is from the days of rubber band powered actuators (servos had not yet been invented) and a "kick-up" elevator. That old control method was crude. But, for those who were trying to go higher than rudder-only control back then, this plane was the answer in its day!
There are two large plan sheets involved here. So build it just as they did nearly 60 years ago and you'll have a marvelous time.
As a
BONUS
I include a nice bio of

designer Vince Micchia.
I also offer the
Midwest TRI-SQUIRE
PLAN
as an enlarged 72” wingspan model. It is impressive! There is no loss of quality with the enlargement and it prints very nicely.
