CT-4 Airtrainer

Aerospace of New Zealand's cute little tricycle-geared primary trainer as used by the Royal Australian Air Force. With smaller of two props shown on plan, it'll ROG. Two color schemes - the yellow and black RAAF color scheme as shown on the plan, and the red and white RNZAF color scheme shown in the color photograph of the model built by Bob Jamison.

Sleek experimental navy carrier fighter based on the P-39 Airacobra. Pre-war color scheme - yellow wings and silver fuselage. Like the P-39 airacobras, a good flier. Click on picture for photo. - 10.4 Kb .JPG |

Blohm & Voss's entry in the "Volksjager" competition was the better design, but Heinkel's He-162 got the contract. The BV P 211.02 may have lost out to the He-162, but as a No-Cal, it won't lose to much else! An EXCELLENT flier! Click on picture for photo. - 20.4 Kb .JPG |

 In colorful markings of a B-239 with 41 victories - more than the highest scoring Allied Ace of WW II! Green & black camo, yellow cowl & fuselage stripe, red spinner & tail number. |
The B-239 was lighter, climbed faster, and was more maneuverable than later models of the Buffalo, and it had the highest victory ratio of any WW II fighter - 26:1 !!! The Finnish Air Force had only 44 B-239s, but they made 34 Aces! Both a standard, or a lightweight version with lifting stab can be built from this plan. My lightweight version has done 3 minutes under a 26' ceiling, and has already won multiple events. Click on picture for photo. - 20.4 Kb .JPG |

One of the most colorful No-Cals you're likely to see. Pre-war yellow wing and light grey fuselage. Tail color depends on carrier assignment, and nose/fuselage/wing stripes depend on aircraft number. Several color schemes available. To pick your own color scheme, use in conjunction with James A. Morrow's excellent TBD-1 Devastator scale drawing sheets 1, 2, and 3 in the scale drawing section. A nice little flier! Click on picture for photo. - 11 Kb .JPG |

Swiss target tow plane with very long nose. Replacing the piston engine with a turbine in a WW II vintage fighter-bomber required stretching the nose to maintain the proper center of gravity. Nose is almost too long for a No-Cal! Striking yellow and black striped color scheme. Click on picture for photo. - 12.8 Kb .JPG |

The Best German production fighter of WW II! This lightweight version of the "Dora 9" is capable of excellent performance. Build with lifting or non-lifting stab., low & high-ceiling props. 3 minutes with 26' ceiling, & nearly 5 minutes with 80' ceiling! My new favorite! I've already won 5 events with this one!

Our very first No-Cal. A pretty model with a slight gull wing. Heinkel's "mystery fighter" was faster and more maneuverable than the Bf-109, but only a few were built. Spanish civil war color scheme - light grey with black and white trim. Click on picture for photo. - 11.96 Kb .JPG |

Dubbed the German "Mosquito", this contra-prop, tandem-engine bomber was faster than any single-engined fighter of it's day. Model is a natural performer - has done 3 minutes under a 26 foot ceiling! Aircraft is light gray overall with black registration and the typical pre-war tail marking of a black Hakenkreuz on white circle in a red band. Click on picture for BIG photos! - |

Recent information reveals that this sleek little jet fighter actually made it into combat for a short period! It's combat career wasn't notable, but as a No-Cal, its long fuselage packs an 18 inch long motor tube! A Great flier! The closest thing to an outdoor No-Cal in the catalog, and winner of the 1997 mass launch at the Northwest Quiet Riot meet! Green and light blue color scheme.

Rocket Interceptor  12 minutes 58 seconds ! July 18, 2004 (outdoors) |
Several of these little rocket interceptors were actually tested, but it never flew in combat. So... did somebody show up with a high-flying rece. Spitfire? Or maybe one of those big-winged Cassutts is floating around at altitude. Maybe you're tired of seeing those ten-minute outdoor No-Cal times in the FAC Newsletter. Get to altitude
FAST
with this No-Cal version of the Heinkel He-P.1077 Julia I Rocket-Interceptor. Huge model with lots of wing area and a 21 inch long motor tube! Put a big prop on it, make sure your name is on it, and watch it GO! Green and light blue color scheme. Click on picture for photo. - 14.88 Kb .JPG |

This sleek British fighter may have been one of the greatest prop fighters that ever flew, but it was tested only two months before Whittle's little jet fighter became operational, so it was never placed in production. As a No-Cal, its large wing and long fuselage make it a great flier! Dark Green and Dark Sea Grey color scheme. Click on picture for photo. - 20 Kb .JPG |
