Rich Weber has impeccible tastes when it comes to aircraft.  He published a plan for a Dime Scale version of the Boeing Monomail.  Melding simplified "dimer" construction with a magnificent flying planform is sucker's bait.   And I bit hook, line and sinker and this little guy flies and flies and flies.  

  

The tail feathers are dead-simple but it's useful, and possible, to show you the plan for Dime models like this one so I'll take this as the opportunity to do so.

 

If you haven't build a "dimer", you're missing out on a fun build.  Their simplicity results in quick construction.  Notice that Rich's Monomail is simple box construction with a couple side stringers.

 

 

With everything in place it really looks like it wants to fly, doesn't it?  

 

 

Rich wisely uses a significant amount of balsa in creating the cowling.  This provides needed noseweight as well as a place to put your fingers when you're dealing with the winding process. 

 

I've covered the fuselage with green tissue, while the flying surfaces were covered with white.  I then masked and sprayed the wing tips with Testors Acryl International Orange.  The r/n was printed using an inkjet printer.

 

 

I sprayed the fuselage 'olive', in this case using Tamiya acrylics.  I used a gel-pen to do the "Monomail" on the side. 

 

 

 

The finished model, with Peck 6" prop, weighs 12.5 grams.  The longest motor I've put in it thus far is a 15" loop of 1/8" as that one flies it off my small field.  With a more typical, 26-28" motor it should easily get me huffing and puffing to keep up. 

 

Thanks to Rich Weber for this wonderful design.
