1909 Curtiss Model A Plans
April 1969 American Aircraft Modeler

Airplanes and Rockets - April 1969 American Aircraft Modeler magazine cover

Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences. Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that, were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day.

I have been scanning and posting excerpts from my collection of AAM and AM, concentrating on model building articles and old advertisements. Whether you are here to wax nostalgic, or are just interested in learning history, hopefully you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

Here are plans for the Curtiss Model A that I electronically scanned from my purchased copy of the April 1969 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. You might be able to scale up this image below if a suitable set of plans is not available. Plans for this fine model were drawn by Mr. Björn Karlström. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

The AMA Plans Service offers a full-size version of plans at a very reasonable cost. They will scale the plans any size for you. Try out my Scale Calculator for Model Airplane Plans.
