Hi, About 25 years ago I had a 1/2A model called the Honker. Actually I liked it so much I bought another one. They are both gone now and I'd like to get another one. My guess is that they are not made anymore because I don't see them advertised in any of the RC magazines. Does anyone have one lying around that you would like to sell? I would prefer an unbuilt kit but will take what I can get. On my second Honker, I bought an extra wing and doubled the length and it flew almost like a glider. I have many .049's sitting around collecting dust and I need something to put them on.

Check out the RCM plans catalog. Several Honker plans were published over the years.

With a TD .051 it was a rocket! Often thought of building one for
power.

Aha, The Honker or the Honker Rocket? both by Dave Thornburg. The HR was a much better looking model, I flew one for ages, until I shredded it through a tree.
The kits have not been seen for years, but the plans were sold by RCM. They have gone, but IIRC somebody still has the rights.

The plans are still available from RCM, on their web site.
