Here is the page in Hip Pocket Aeronautics for the Tailless Terror.

Hip Pocket Aeronautics have a general purpose page of tailless models but most are not suitable for the competition.

Outerzone have two models, both rather small but perhaps worth a look:-
Supersonic Sue and Persey

Sams Models have:- G5031 Mystery Tailless. Based on a design by Roger F. Parkhill of the Air Corps Technical School. Originally published in Flying Aces magazine, April, 1940. Kit includes CAD drawn rolled plans, precision laser cut parts, hand-picked balsa, FAI rubber motor, Peck propeller and nose bearing, and Easy Built Lite silver tissue. Also includes new Tissuecal (trademarked), a printed tissue, like decals but much lighter. 22" wingspan. £25.95

Ray Malmstrom produced a free plan for the Aeromodeller called Fli-Wing, dating, I think from the 1970's.
Now so long ago I hope the Aeromodeller won't mind, especially if I give the current magazine a plug - try aero-modeller.com.

For Fli-Wing downloads click:- Plan in .pdf form - - - Plan as a .jpg - - - Instructions as .pdf - - - Instructions as a .jpg

Click for some basic information dating from the 1940's if you are going to design from scratch.

Have a look at "TilePrint is a tool for resizing, tiling and printing images." if you are dealing with odd sized plans.

Please let me know of any suitable plans or kits that that can be added to this page and thanks to David, Brian L and Christian who have made suggestions.
