1: Construction Plans in PDF Format

All the drawings that are available for this vintage aircraft design are in this file-set. The clarity is wonderful, and these can be enlarged for printing to suit whatever your need may be. If you want to print to standard drafting size (roughly 42" wide) you may need to have this done at your local printing shop or one of the "big box" office stores since most home printers just cannot handle the larger sizes. Or, you could enlarge the images and print them 'sectionally' then piece them together. This is a surprisingly common practice! Get the Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) here if you need it.

Read the next paragraph - VERY IMPORTANT

You may need to 'improvise' or implement some best-guess independent judgment in this construction project. This is a truly vintage design, over 80 years old, and by contemporary standards may be viewed as "not enough" to complete the project without experience in aircraft construction and design. If this troubles you, then you probably should not consider this project, or you should consult with someone experienced in this aspect of construction to ensure the completion of a safe and usable craft.

These are from the designer himself! Even though these articles were originally released in 1931, the information should be exceptionally helpful. These articles are not a construction manual and only address portions of the aircraft. They do, however include diagrams and sketches that are not in the Plans PDF file. The articles are in JPG File Format. You can download the IRFAN-VIEW file viewing utility by clicking here. Irfan-View is completely free!!

Nothing beats a few good pictures for motivation! While these are completed and operational planes, and a couple museum items, they will give you that 'kick in the pants' that is sometimes needed in projects such as this. The photo collection is in JPG File Format so the Irfan-View utility is the way to go!!
