Beechcraft 18?

[Peter Walker]

I'm looking for a set of plans for a Beechcraft 18. Does anyone know where I might find one? I searched on Fiddler's Green but they only had 2 Beechcraft and a Google search did not give anything.

Don't know if this might pull up something, but try C-45 and AT-11, both were military version of the Twin Beech or Beech 18

Thank you. I hadn't thought of that. Some years ago I worked for the local FBO as a fueler and one of those flew in and I got to fuel it. It was a beautiful bird. It was in bare aircraft aluminum.

That picture has my 2nd favorite airplane in the background. C-47 (DC-3). I have fueled one or two of those in my time as well.

Yeah they're very nice aircraft, there are one or two of the Daks in paper model form, and at a good price too... FREE

I have seen one or two in my wanderings here on the net. I have plans for a Radio Control DC-3 from the 90's. I ordered it from a guy named Nick Ziroli. The airline that I work for flies De Havilland Dash-8 100's and 300's. I have found plans for a 100 as well and would love to build a card model of both, but I'm nowhere skilled enough to scratch design and build one on my own.

She's a nice bird also. Keep us posted on the RC DC-3, that would be nice to see - and if possible a video of her being flown Very cooooool ! If you do that, post it in our "Other things we do and make" area, you'd get alot of happy viewers and comments.

I found that one. its a Q-400. I could always size it down but not sure if I really want to try that at this point. That and it has different rotors than a 100 or 300. Subtle differences but differences none the less.
