  1. the ziroli e-turbinator. Easy build and looks great.

  2. Without a doubt… Les McDonald’s Stiletto! Followed by another original Dan Santich Hots.

    1. I am quite flattered because it was a long time ago and there are so many others to choose from. Thanks for the honor Doug!

  3. Well, back in the early 70s and the plan and the article was in a March issue of MAN. Well, while stationed in England for the USAF I built one. The plane…. was…. the Tiger TAIL pattern plane. You no longer offer this plan because I tried to get a new plan, what a shame!

  4. The Pat Tritle SE5a like the one in the photo above. I’m 90% done with it and will be ready when the snow melts.

  5. Back in the 50’s and early 60’s I bought a number of MAN plans. One was called ‘The Quickie Mail Plane.’ It was rubber powered, and flew extremely well. I flew it outside and in my high school gymnasium.

    Another was a free flight model, named Buttons. With an .020 engine and a medicine dropper of fuel, it would climb for a minute or so and glide back down for a three-minute flight. A friend of mine filled the tuel tank without my knowledge. It climbed nearly out of sight overhead and drifted nearly two miles across the plains before it landed.

    I scaled up the Buttons plan and put an electric motor in it for R/C. It is still one of my favorite MAN plans.
