I almost bought one recently. I'll let you know if I do. Should have got one that was priced decently. I love C150s, as well as it going really well with my Comet DVa and Cherokee, that are the only flying electric r/c versions that I know of.

Are you planning to make a rubber powered version with possibly a lighter or no tube?

Well I just bought one, so I'll have some plans to scan with my otherwise useless Lexmark that uses expensive ink cartridges, bought only for the purpose of flatbed scanning. As soon as I paid, Ebay comes up with a "now don't forget about this one" message, which was the other one for sale that I had looked at, which had the wheel pants missing.

Looks like this may be another first as an e-conversion Comet model, like the Cherokee and DVa. At first I thought the Bass-O-Matic tube was missing, but it appeared to be in the photos. Wouldn't have been a bad thing, as it would push me to roll a lighter one. I'll have to make the front section so that it can be cut-away after construction for motor mounting, like the past 2 builds. I could even start building a conventional wing at 29" span, as the highly scale appearing x-deal with be scrapped also.

You're welcome. I'll probably sheet the fuse with 1/32" balsa and use parallel wing ribs.

I have this kit/plans and sent a few PMs, which seem to be stuck in the outbox. Let me know if you do or don't get them.
Edit: I just noticed your email, so I'll try that.

I know how You feel about the modern magazines, but Fly Rc Master Workshop had a Dumas J-4 Cub 4 Ch RC conv., and the guy put all the Rc gear and motor on a tray held into the fuselage with pins. I gotta find a photo cause it's hard to explain,but I know You,d like it. Stranger Yet In a Balsa online Club thing on Face Book I go on FF Guys are converting the Dumas Pat Tritle RC series planes from Rc to Rubber. They flipped it on Me!
