Wendell Hostetler Plans

We are dedicated to the Sport Flyer who desires a model aircraft that is truly
functional and can stand the rigors of day after day, week after week flying.

Our Plans feature all balsa construction with basswood and plywood as
needed for sound and practical applications.

The range of our designs includes the Classics of the 30's to modern high performance racers that include Jon Sharp's Nemesis, Patti Johnson's Full Tilt Boogie (highly modified Mong) and the most outstanding Home Built of the decade, the Lance Neibauer designed Lancair IV manufactured by Neico Aviation / Lancair International of Redmond, OR.
