I'm looking for plans for the Berkley 1/2A Profile Puddlejumper from 1951. I have the Senor Puddlejumper plan.

Hi, Jim. I believe 'Uncle Willie' on ebay has this plan, as I have gotten many Berkeley plans from him. (Controline/Freeflight section of Model Aircraft)

Hello Jim; I have a Berkeley Junior Puddle Jumper for .049 to .074 engines. This the one you're looking for? All balsa, profile fuse with a metal engine mount and metal landing gear already attached to the printed fuselage. It has a pretty neat tear drop formed metal cowling, and a hollow, prefabbed all balsa wing, 19 inch span and all balsa stab. The plans are full size, and an experienced builder could build one from the plans. Let me know if this sounds familiar.
I also have a "Super" Puddle Jumper with 28" wingspan. What size is the regular Puddle Jumper?
I heard from Sean tonight that you guys went flying today. Lucky pups! I got to shovel snow!!

Good luck and have fun,
Dan McEntee

Type at you later

I think the one I am looking for is an earlier version. I ran across it in a products section of an 1951 magazine (will have to look for it a little more.) It shows an airplane with a built up wing. Berkley dumbed down a number of their CL designs in later years, including some of the later Zilches. I remember seeing ads for the model 1/2A Puddlejumper you have.

The same magazine had an ad for the PDQ Mustang. Anyone have plans for that? It didn't have flaps.
