Ian Laing Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Years ago I built and then lost O.O.S. a D.P.R. Rare Bird glider that I had made for my eight year old son. Thirty six years later his son has been told about the Rare Bird and now, "please would Grumpa" make me a Rare Bird! I will and shall if ever I can locate a Rare Bird plan, there must be one or two lying around! A .jpg scan of the plan is all I really need, so if anyone out there knows of one I know of a Grandchild who will be delighted! Thanks, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Crook Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Dave Rawlings, who founded DPR models, is still in business as Flying Toys. Most of his products are now small r/c imports but he used to make his own kits, including the Rare Bird. Dave is a super bloke and he could almost certainly provide a plan, and may even have a kit you could buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Laing Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thanks for the replies, I will try these avenues . . . (anything to make me and a Grandson happy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWAL Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Is it one of these **LINK** Currently on Ebay with 6 days to go and a fairly low starting price. I also built one a number of years ago and at the time I thought it flew extremely well........compared to my other builds of that era, some of which didn't exactly fly, more thrown!
