Title: Guillows Profile Trainer 2
Post by: Clay Schmidt on February 17, 2010, 03:31:04 PM

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for plans for the Guillows Profile Trainer 2.  If anyone can tell me where I can buy a set, or if someone would be willing to copy a set, I would be willing to pay for your expense and trouble.  My brothers and I learned to fly with one of these 40 years ago and I'd like to build another.

Thanks,

Clay Schmidt

FWIW:  I copied an original set a couple of years ago and had them copied 100%, it turned out that the original plans were not "full size".  I hadn't bother to check the dimensions between the plans and the actual model.  I then figured out the copy ratio and took them back to Kinko's and had them recopied to the right "full size".  

I have them around here someplace.  Been cleaning the basement so I'm not sure where some stuff is hidden.  I will look in the next few days and see if I can find both the actual plans and the upscaled plans.

I'd sure like to have a copy if you run across them. I plan to re-draw the plans with CAD so  having the full size plan is not necessary.  I just need to know a true dimension such as the wing-span.

Thanks,

Clay
