Scale Free Flight Plans of Australian Aircraft by Derek Buckmaster

 

This site features scale free flight models of aircraft which were designed, built or flown in Australia (plus lots of other odds & ends).  All the plans featured have been designed using CAD.  They are all available in Adobe Acrobat format.  The author has also put together a brief history of each aircraft, with pictures and 3-view drawings (in most cases).

In addition to the Australian aircraft plans, the author also offers plans of aircraft not designed in Australia.  Among these are three golden age designs: 

Tugan Gannet
Lockheed Altair
Luscombe Phantom

Plan for 330mm (13") model:  PDF for A4

The aircraft is known as the Amsco monoplane, a high wing parasol aircraft built in Geelong during the late 1920's. The Amsco monoplane is a rare Australian light plane developed by Charlie Pratt.

The Amsco is reminiscent of the Heath Parasol (which flew around the same time - 1928) and the Luton Minor (which flew later), but the lines are not the entirely the same, so if the Amsco was based on the Heath, some changes were indeed made.
