Hello Jeff, I just finished reading this thread and I’m amazed at your work. I’m coming back to the hobby and I was wondering if I could kindly ask you for a copy of the plans of the Lightning.
All the best on the new job.
Thanks in advance
J

Hi Jeff,
Ive recently been looking for a nice F3A plane to build. The Lightning Looks great and Id love to attempt it.
Is there any possibility you could send me a copy of the plans.?
PDF and/ or Cad files (DXF or Auto Cad comparable) would be great.
To buy such a model is prohibitive in cost!
My Email is: [email protected]
Best Regards
Paul

Gonna Build 3ea., Niece, Nephew and myself-Whew! in 3 months
Well team, that's it. After looking at all the possible builds (I'm just getting back into the sport after a 40 year hiatus, thus was looking at all the Birdi, TigerTail, Kougars... designs), we three amigos here have decided to build this Lightning design ASAP. All three ships need to be completed in the next three months so that the youth can compete over the summer. (fly a 40 year old Kougar until then) These are going to be FAST BUILD given the time crunch but I think the kids will love that aspect. I loved all of the build photos and the kids now have all those great photos in a book, ready for referencing.
We see allot requests for the plans below. If they are available then please PM me and I can give you an email.
I guess we also need to follow Mr Viper in the upcoming competition season. GO VIPER (Mr. Carder) !
Respectfully, Carl

My Feedback: (121)
Carl,
are you going to build it from the Eureka short kit? or completely from scratch?
I am waiting for Jeff to finish the Thunderbolt plans and kit arrangements. The Eureka short kit is worth the money (I have one and I went with all wood wings). So are you building one Lightning or 3?
Good luck, keep us updated with your progress.

Thanks Will. Yes this is going to be an insane project and hopefully all three airplanes come out to the same standards you guys have been maintaining, but 100% beautiful isnt the goal. Getting the kid's self worth up, skills up, some two day trips over the summer, and hopefully some trophies is the goal. The crazy thing is another nephew wants to build Mama Mia by Joe Birdi, and two 20-something year-old engineering friends want to build two F3A bipes. Photos will sure be posted.
Pray for me.
Pray for me.

cg-eng.….Kudos to you for your parenting skills! Reading your post brought back many memories. My dad did the same thing for me as a young stupid kid and I can't begin to tell you the lifelong impression it left with me. Your kids will have these memories for the rest of their lives and the good it will do for them is something that cannot be measured. I'll be looking forward to your progress pix as well.

Hello Jeff,
What an interesting thread, I already build a lot of airplanes in almost all materials, and wood is still my preference.
You did a good job with the lightning. is it possible to get a copy of your plans? I will apreciate.

I'm just getting back to RC airplanes after a 10ish year hiatus. I was thinking of building this beauty but I've been led to believe that good balsa is really hard to come by in 2021. Where are you folks finding your contest balsa these days?
Jeff, might I bug you for a copy of the plans sent to: sps3172 at yahoo dot com ? Thanks in advance!
