The designer writes "Features For the experienced modeler who wants a fascinating project, we offer plans for Jim Bede's famous pusher prop airplane the BD-5D. Jim furnished drawings & a quarter scale prototype fiberglass fuselage to Palmer Plans to assure scale authenticity. Jim himself built quarter scale prototypes for testing. The tiny mid-engine aerobatic airplane has a wing span of only 64.25" & a length of 43.5". This long wing version has a target weight of 7 lbs., 7 oz., dry, & a wing area of 505.8 sq. in. The K.&B. . 40 engine is enclosed in a well ventilated mid-fuselage position behind the cockpit & is connected ( via a machined stainless steel driveshaft mounted in miniature aircraft bearings) to the pusher prop. R.C. operation is 5 channel. Equipped with mechanical retracts, this offering is for the experienced modeler who can follow clear self-explanitory plans."
