I've been looking and can't find a thing. Built a lot of Pilot QBs back in the good ol' days.

Yeah its a hard one to get. Id happy get it on outerzone once found. I may just enlarge a qb15-20 to that size if i cant get a 60 But the 60 does have nice look to the fuse.

I Finally found some plans, Scanned them from a Kit

So this will be a laser cut kit, Just finished Vectoring it and making some alterations.

To Be powered with a ASP91 4c on GAS!

Any interest in a Build thread?

This will be a fun littel build to make as a small glider tug and just something for a bit of fun,
Always want one as a boy!

Ok So the Fuse is now all laser cut, Lots of parts compared to a qb20 etc.
There has beena few mods from the orginal plans suck as non removable stab, and a few internal changes to make things work better.

Its been tried fitted and stays together with no glue

Also gave the New ASP 91 FS its first run with a G5 plug and 25:1 Redline fuel/Oil - Still turning this thing but going well.

Will start building today

I like! Of course I'd probably have to enlarge the control surfaces and add some flaps but overall just keep it a plane for simple fun on a lazy afternoon.
