If I could find a Veco Papoose Kit (FOUND IT)
« on: April 25, 2015, 06:38:30 PM »
I f I could find a Larry Richards Papoose kit or an old Veco Papoose kit, I would use it to make templates and make the kits like Larry did before he quit.  Larry destroyed his remaining plans and templates he did not sell soI do not know what is out there as far as Veco kits or Larrys kits that are in someone's closet.  Actually, I would like to see all of the kits with Indian names become available again.

Mike,

You really don't need the kit. The plans would be enough. Sure, more work, but it can be done.

Hi Charles,

The problem is, Veco (like Sterling) only had instructions, not full size plans in their kits.  And as of yet, I have not seen a set of full size plans for the Papoose.  Maybe Tom Dixon has some hand drawn ones, I have not checked with him.

May i suggest you scan the ribs, fin, elevator, stab, wing tips etc and scan the plan in pdf format. That way you have a way of reproducing the model again. Wouldn't hurt to post your jpgs here either!

Good luck and keep it fun!
