Sterling Corsair Plans
I am wondering if anyone would happen to have a copy or a scan of the plans for the the Sterling FS 36 Corsair? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Joe

RE: Sterling Corsair Plans
A scan would be great. But the biggest issue with the plans is the formers are not on them. So they have to be traced, Im not sure if I feel comfortable asking someone to do that with a new kit they plan on keeping.

RE: Sterling Corsair Plans
The image in my previous post was produced using the "scan" mode. After printing it, I laid the part on top of the print. Close, but still some distortion. Scanning the part using the "copy" mode set on "actual size" was dead-nuts-on. I couldn't detect any distortion by laying the original part on top of the printed part. My bandsaw skills are probably not up to the accuracy of this scanner/printer, and are therefore the limiting factor. The next time I build an out-of-production kit, everything will get scanned as I go. Easy, too. Put the part on the glass, hit the "copy" button and that's it. Thanks to Ripplewave for a great idea.

Joe,
I have an extra set of Sterling Corsair plans you can have. If you still need them? I live in Dallas, Texas. Drop me a message and I will get back with you.

RE: Sterling Corsair Plans
For anyone interested in this bird, after posting this I acquired a kit (on my short build list) and I came across other resources for this plane:
Here is a short laser cut kit: http://lazer-works.com/misc.html
I posted the pdf files for the plans and parts here: http://www.hippocketaeronautics.com/....php?cat_id=60
Hip pocket is a great resources for plans and their forum is great as well. You will need to register to gain access to the plans.
Thanks to everyone for your help!
