to build a 36" UC model of the Evans home-built
VOLKSPLANE
.
The homebuilt
VOLKSPLANE
was constructed just like a model plane, having sheet plywood sides, bottom and top. The motor was 1/2 of a Volkswagen auto engine. Plans sold like hotcakes in the 1970s as homebuilders who had once built UC stunt models such as
VIKING, VAMPIRE
and
BOXCAR
, all of which had square box fuselages, bought Evans plans and got started making a man-carrying "model" in their basements or garages.
This 36" Vern Schroeder design appeared in Model Builder years ago. It takes an .09 glow engine and Vern says the UC can easily be made into an RC model. I have only page one of the MB construction article but this is a really simple model to build. If you have ever built a model from scratch, you should have no problems.
My last picture shows a quarter scale RC
VOLKSPLANE
model that won the world scale championships in 1975. The builder (second from the left) appeared on Blackstone Army Airfield where Pop was Airfield Commander and asked permission to fly from an unused taxiway to get the hang of flying his perfect scale model. Of course Pop said "yes" and then enjoyed seeing that really fine model flying.

BONUS
I include a copy of an old Air Progress
