The C22 was developed in Italy as a Military Trainer in 1980, The company had previous experience with gliders, in 1981 Agusta acquired a 50% stake in the program.

MS Flight Sim 2020 has the C22
The C22 is a popular RC and free flight model as well

I would like to thank Buzz’s Facebook old magazine scan in’s for this add from the 9/93 RCM issue for the C22 made by I.T.P.
For anyone who is interested and has a 3D printer I have a 1/4″ hex bit holder up on Thingiverse for free.
Typically used in Impact Drivers and Drills.
Each individual holder, will hold 10 standard hex bits. the tray can fit 5 holders for a grand total of 50 hex bits.

The F-1 Rocket first flew in 2000 and is often seen at fly-in’s.
Construction methods are similar to an RV-8 but with much higher performance along with a much larger 540 or 550 engine.

There are some RC options that may be able to be found as a used complete aircraft or kit

The Dakota Hawk, was introduced in 1993 with 25+ flying. It can be powered by O-200, 912 & 3300’s. The Corvair would likely be another good candidate for power.

Fisher’s web site: https://ckd.aero/fisher-dakota-hawk/
YouTube has a few videos on the aircraft:
I was not able to find any common RC offerings for the Dakota but with some 3D modeling software and time it looks like an easy thing to take on.
Like the Radial rocket the Murphy Moose is also powered by the M14P radial engine as its prime option.
Other engine options include the Lycoming O-540, LS3 and even a PT-6
I was not able to find any RC options for the Moose but looks like a simple thing to model up.
Not too much information is available on the Radial Rockets history but its been out for a while now.
It’s powered by a M14P Radial engine and features an all composite airframe.

I always thought the Cavalier was a sharp looking homebuilt aircraft, tail # C-FGDC is likely one of the best I’ve seen. It’s based on the French GY-20 Minicab (one of these is on display at Sun-N-Fun). Latest design ownership is with MacFam. Common engine options are the Continental O-200 & the Lycoming O-235

The wooden aviation web site has even more details on the aircraft

The EAA has additional info on the aircraft but not a dedicated page I can find.
EAA Chapter 1541 has a local build documented https://eaa1541.org/members/newsletters/february-2016/builders-corner/
Jonny Sprague’s YouTube channel has a few videos on his Cavalier, here is one below:
Outerzone did not have any plans on this aircraft, quite surprising as it would be a great RC model.
This Aircraft of the month is the Aero AE-45 twin, a rare vintage twin. Designed in Czechoslovakia the first flight was in 1947. Production run was from 1947 to 1961 with a production run close to 600.
The tear drop shaped fuselage combined with the well forward mounted props makes for a unique look.
Outerzone did not have any plans results, very surprising due to the age and RC model potential. There are some RC models out there but it could be hit or miss to find a kit or plans
The classic Glasair has always been one of my favorite home built aircraft, it has very clean lines but its not overly stylized.
There where 3 generations of the aircraft with the first flight being in 1979
A very detailed history can be found in: https://glasair-owners.com/news/history-of-glasair-aviation/
With the peak of its popularity being before YouTube there is actually quite a few videos on the aircraft.
Outerzone has one plan, a 71″ span from Model Airplane News

The Seeker was developed in the late 80’s as a light Observation aircraft, its built in Australia and powered by an O-360 engine.
The Main US domestic commercial use is for the New Mexico State Police, however the Seeker has a far reaching international market share including middle east and African countries. The Helicopter like forward fuselage offers excellent viability at a much lower operating cost compared to a comparable helicopter.
Its part 23 certified for the US and can be equipped with cameras and sensors for law enforcement, power line inspection, search and rescue.
Features and usage is similar to the EA-7 Edgley Optica (previous aircraft of the month)
Company web site can be found at: https://www.seekeraircraft.com/aircraft.html
An interesting article on the aircraft: https://www.flightglobal.com/seeker-observation-aircraft-to-be-built-in-the-us-by-erickson/119949.article
There is a good amount of YouTube videos on the Seeker:
I could not find any RC models or plans however with modern cad systems, internet images and 3D printers it would not be too difficult to make one.
