The “Not For Sale” design
Greetings all, I am looking for information on any larger size versions of the “Not For Sale” fun fly airplane. There was a gentleman on here back in 2015 that shared pictures of his with a DLE 20 on it (Lifer was his username). I know there are plans out there for the original 40 size version but I was really looking for a larger version actually hoping to find plans for the DLE 20 size one.
Any information would be appreciated!
Thanks
Lom

The original 20cc version was an experiment. It's still flying but I gave it to a friend 5 years ago. If you want to build one I'd suggest you get the plans from Model Airplane News and scale it up to a 72 or 80 inch wing. All sizes fly and land with a lot of stability and the large control surfaces make it acrobatic.
Best of luck. I've been building and flying this design since 1992 and highly recommend it..

Plans are on the way. I was just curious as to what percentage you may have used to get to that size.
Appreciate the reply though.

If they made a 20 0r 25 size I built one of those years ago. If I remember correctly on the first flight the on off switch on the plane malfunctioned and the plane was totaled before I had a chance to enjoy it. It would be nice if you could post a photo or two of your 20cc plane.

Do you think a evolution 15cc would pull one the size you built or would 65" be better. I'm just getting back into RC after 20 years and would like something that slows down nicely for landing. I would think the thick wing section would do that.
And yes you have my interest. I'll have to see if I still have the plans here.
I'm looking for something that flies nicely at moderate speed. No bottle rockets for this old man.

Took the 20cc NFS out today and completed flights 55 thru 60. Switched from a c/f 17x6 to an APC 17x8N, which wildly out-performed the 17x6 and was eerily quiet. Literally couldn't hear it from 300 feet away. It's now doing straight up climbs and at about 80 mph in level flight. I've trimmed it to the point that it responds to what I'm thinking to do next. Still needs adjustments but done with it til next Spring.
No regrets scratch-building this plane. It's moving towards the best yet.
