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.

Honker Plan #529
Honker Rocket Plan #832

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