    Default Looking for plans of vintage A-/B-class racers

    Hello, I'm from Germany. A couple of months ago we have organized a new rc model racing class for vintage stock outboard racers of the 1950s (152VO class = scale 1:5,2 "vintage outboards"). Currently we're building about 20 different models of stock outboard racers and cottage racers. I'm building the "Atomite", a 50s cottage racer designed by William D. Jackson, which was published in Boat Builder's Handbook. At the moment I'm ready for fiber glassing and varnishing the hull:





    As a next model I'd like to build a more "competitive" racer. Now I'm looking for plans of Hal Kelly's "Foo Ling", "Airborne" and "Jupiter" as well as Bob Switzer's "Baby Bullet". Can anybody provide me with information / plans about these boats? I'm also interested in other plans of A-class / B-class racers of the 50s (e.g. Sid Craft, Willis, Speedliner).

    Thank you for your help!

    Since we are not members of that forum, the links do not show us the images
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
