Jr. Nobler, a little help please!

[Terry Bolin]

I recieved my Plans from "Stuka Stuntworks" yesterday and they look to be the actual plans from Top Flight kit so my question is: can someone check their plans or model and tell me the actual size of the tail feathers? Also, does your plans have each rib drawn?
Thank you!

HI Terry,

So far I have not seen a plan that shows all the parts.

Hopefully, someone will trace the parts and *maybe* Pat Johnson, Bob K., or another can do them in CAD. 

It is a surprisingly good flying small plane.  I would think an OS 10FP would be SUPER in one.

Yes if only the front end wasn't butt ugly. Dennis

Terry,

You can use the isometric view to get the approximate dimensions of the stab and elevators.

Next you can use the side view to get the airfoil shape. Note that the airfoil is at the place where it goes through the fuselage. You need to interpolate to get a root and tip rib using the length from the wing top view. Use the "stack" method to make the ribs.

You will also need to create your formers using top and side view.

A bit of annoyance, but doable. Good luck.

This guy sells the plans with all the ribs shown.
It's on my one of these days list.

Hi Jay,

That's Gary Weaver (used to be, maybe still is??) from over at SSW.  The guy who does all the wild things!

Bill,

A little further down on the ebay link it mentions that it is indeed Gary. He is one guy who REALLY likes to play. He does stuff that most of us wouldn't even think up. Haven't seen him post in quite a while.

From what I can make out from the pic, those seem to be well drawn plans. All of the parts are shown.

Hi George,

I knew that Gary used "scientificsupply" as his ebay handle.  He's done some things that makes you wonder..................

Hi Terry
the span of the stabilizer is 14" if you want i have photo copies of the ribs full size if you would like me to email them to you

[Brian Thwaites]

here are the copies

[George]

If you build (any plane) from plans, make sure you have some holes in each rib of the outboard wing to stabilize air pressure inside the wing.
