David perry 1 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Does anyone remember the old plans built Keema Nan? I seem to recall it was a 140" flat field soarer. I fancy making one with electric motor. Are the plans still out there? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Was that exactly the plane you wanted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David perry 1 Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 Its close enough and in fact it MIGHT be. I recall Kema Nan as being 144 inch but of course i ight have misremembered the name anyway. Sundancer (I think) also sprigs to mind, but it was a long, long time ago. I just want a model with very big wingspan for some fun, thats all. 144inch seems daftest, but kema's 137 will do. I enjoy flat field floating with electric powered gliders every now and then and this might do the job. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Unfortunately Sarik's search feature didn't find it without the plan number but I found an old Plans Handbook which shows RM249 Kema S at 142 inch and Sarik seem to have this too. Cheaper too ..... sorry it's a bit late Kema S RM249 was in Radio Modeller March 1982 and the Plans Handbook says it's a 3 piece wing - the tips can be long for 147 inch or short at 142 to fit 100S Rules.

Andy Gates Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 David, You do not need to go big to get a floater. May I be so bold as to suggest you have a look at the Graupner Amigo? When I was a youngster, one of my club mates had one and won every one of our competitions with one. I have since built one from an on-line plan and they fly great.
