Another Building Forum to Check Out

[Mitch]

Hey Guys...and Gals,

I was told to check out this other site. I do not know why it took me so long.

http://www.hippocketaeronautics.com

I like there format, and they have a lot of topics and very good builders. They have categories for FF, CL, and RC

Check it out... You can also find some pics of my Guillow models on the WESTFAC thread!

I will still be here, but I will be over at Hip Pocket also! There are always people that know more than me...

Hey, Mitch! How are you doing?
I checked the site out and it really looks good. I'll check more into it later.
I finally got my new glasses and will continue building the Fokker DR-1 in a few days. Probably get her done then.
Thanks for sharing the site.

Hey Mitch, it's funny that you just discovered that site. Hippocketaeronautics.com is how I discovered this site. I am a member there as well. It is a great site you will get a lot of information there. Happy flying....... Squirlye out.

Hey Guys,

I was just over there at hippocket, they have a very nice selection of plans that are too old and copyright expired to share. They have a bunch of Guillow plans available.

I think it is interesting to see the old Guillow plans, and this company really did make these kits easier to build.I think that's why Guillow survives!

Looks like they have an old Corsair plan that would fit in the 500 series.

Hey Guys,

Just want to say again that HipPocket has a lot of OOP plans available. Seems like people have asked before where to get plans. There are NO plans for any kit that is IN production (copyright laws). I misplaced my Rumpler plans so I just downloaded them! I think they have ALL the 100 series planes.(the old WW 1 planes) available. I have tried over the years to acquire these from ebay, but now I see I can get the plans here. That will be good enough for me.

I plan to scale up the Rumpler to 1/14 scale. That would give her a ws of about 35 inches. Keeping her in FAC scale rubber (36 inches moves you into Jumbo scale) She would also fit in with the WW 1 collection I have.

That would probably work really well. The high aspect ratio wing is efficient and should carry weight well. Love to see the model built at your planned size. The Rumpler was one of those plane that I had to push myself to build, but ended up being one of my favorite builds and little rc flyers. Outerzone has this plan also, as well as Hippocket.
