Welcome to the new home of the Simple Plastic Airplane Design, or S.P.A.D. Here you will find the plans for many popular Spad designs going back to the "Original" designs. Please note that SpadToTheBone.org is redesigned. Look for the old site design at www.spadtothebone.net as we recovered the content after we lost the www.spadtothebone.com domain name.

We recommended that you visit Spad's main home at www.spadworld.net to stay current on the world of Spads. All plans and articles are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. Build and fly Spads at your own risk!! Please read disclaimer!
