Default Ultra Sport 60

I have bought a Ultra Sport 60 as a second hand kit. The only problem were that there were no "plan" with this kit, but everything else was in the kit. I took the instruction manual and started building. At some points I think the plan is very important. The plane is looking nice so far and I am building as I have time.

If there are someone that have a photo or something of the Ultra Sport 60 plans it would be very helpful please.

Thanks
Gripen

Looks like you are doing a very good job without the plans. I hope you find a set. Keep up the good work.

You should be able to order a set of plans from Great Planes...

Look here:

As XTOL said, Great Planes sells plans, and Frank is right: you seem to be doing fine without them. One thing the plans would show that's maybe not in the manual is that the wing has no dihedral on top. So, when you join the wing halves, you can do it upside down on a flat building board without blocking up the tips. (The manual tells you to block up the tips a certain amount).

There's a terrific US building thread in Kit Building.

She's beautiful! I had the 40 ARF version back in the day. It was my favorite airplane, hands down.

What a beautiful job you have done on your Ultra Sport .Was it partially assembled or did you need to figure it all out without the plans? One thing I noticed , Your marker lights should be red on the left and green on the right . This would be as seen from the pilots seat facing forward .

Thanks for compliments. I build this plane without plans and only the book. I bought the plane complete in the box and started drom scratch. I have modified the wingtips a bit an have put on wheel pants as well. It looks much more beautiful that way. @biker bc, after I had covered the wings I saw on the internet that the light are not correct, but now it is to late to change. This project took me 7 month to complete ( not working full time on it) because I work shifts and need my rest. My next project are a Cessna 182 Skylane that was in a crash and need attention. I bought that from a friend an I am going to try and rebuild it in scale and after that I am going to build a "Air trackter" also from scratch. Still looking for plans to let it laser cut.
I also did the stickers myself. Our SAAF earobatic teams logo are the Falcon on the sides, and I am a supporter.
