It's hard to believe -- but there are HUNDREDS of free cardstock model plans available for downloading on the internet.

This list of just 30 or so models was compiled by Bill McCaughtry, an experienced card modeler. It will lead you to some of the BEST models available. 

The photos shown were taken from the websites listed.

This work is being done with the cooperation of about 12 modelers. We hope to produce and sell a real-world book on the subject, hoping that such a book will
introduce others to this wonderful hobby/craft. The book could be a real money-maker. The book now (April 2002) looks like a long shot --
(the publishing
idea was abandoned in 2002). It may still be a good idea. Anyone out there with publishing connections? All of the related websites will undoubtedly give
you permission to do a book using their artwork if you give them substantial credit.

Some of the URL's listed below will NOT  take you immediately to the model in question -- but if you look for the name of the model, you should be able to find it from that point.

AIRCRAFT

1 / Corsair glider from Free Paper Planes by Corneles Huisman at: http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/Creek/8015/. This is listed as a Corsair -- but it really is a Hellcat.
It is a profile model designed as a glider, but I am quite sure it will not fly nearly as well as standard fold-up paper planes. Made and photographed by M. Carbone
