Sample Drawings
(Click tumbnail to enlarge)
The kit comes with a very thorough written manual and drawing book. There are 42 drawings in all and the manual is about 3/8" thick. All drawings are CAD drawings. Below are just a few samples of the major parts.
This is the cover of the drawing book. All of the drawings are on 11x17" paper. Note the little picture of the plane with the wings
folded at the left.
This is the horizontal stabilizer and elevator. These surfaces are "plans built," meaning that you take tubing and sheet metal and cut
it to the proper size, match drill, and rivet it together. These peices are not pre-formed. Each half (stabilizer and elev.) takes about
9 hours to build.
The rudder assembly. It is built much like the elevator and horizontal stab.
The wing goes suprisingly quick. The ribs are pre-made. Even so, one wing panel took about 30 hours to build.
This is the drawing that shows how to install the full enclosure. This is a very "busy" drawing with a lot of details.
