Peerless Panther

Kits available in two sizes from BMJR Models: 1/2A Texaco and Park Flyer.

A Peerless Panther under construction by Dave Acton appears to be scratch built.

The Original Park Flyer? Part I

Under construction by Bucky Walter is this Dragonfly designed by Bob Lee and Tex Newman back in 1974. Northrop Plan Service claims this is one of their best sellers. Being published in the the defunct Model Builder Magazine twice helped. Originally powered by an O.S. .10 and similar engines, the original used a Kraft brick.

With a new Spektrum 5 channel and a PAW .09, the performance of this 728 sq. in. model should be an improvement over the original.

Tom Thumb

Tommy,

Just flew my new Tom Thumb (5/8 size Tom Boy) and it flies great. It was designed by Vic Smeed and published full size in Aeromodeller in 1957. It was designed for the Albin Bambi
.009 cid. diesel engine. Mine is powered by a Russian repro. which runs better than the
original. Wing span is 22 in. and weight is 2 oz. and it flys just like its big brother, left under
power and right glide. It flew right of the board.

I think your Dad has one of these engines, and if he would like a set of full size plans,
let me know.
