1/2-sized Wakefield Models
A (probably incomplete) list of Wakefield models that can qualify for the FAC Half Sized Wakefield event, and possible sources for plans of the models. List created by Roger Moon.

NOTE: the eligibility dates have been revised to include pre-1937 4oz. Wakefield designs; in addition, the cut-off date has been moved up to December 31, 1950 in order to exclude the small-cross-section fuselages and extremely high aspect ratio designs that began to appear in 1951. Roger’s list does not yet reflect these changes.
