No dimensions, but here is a pic of a full sclae BT-13. Maybe scale it to get what you need?

Sincerely, Richard



Looks remarkably like a BT-9 "Yale", predecessor of the AT-6 "Harvard".

Status: offline 		I just picked up a Bert Baker BT-13 from a fellow club member. This is my dream machine, a warbird without retracts. I sure am glad that this thread is going as when I first opened the box I found a lot of extra stuff that I thought belonged in this kit. This will be my first build, but I do have friends out there and this thread. Some work has been done; fuse is pretty much done. The first builder (I am number five in the line that I can figure) followed the instructions and has the dummy engine mount and the tin-can muffler already done. I am not sure what powerplant he had in mind but I have an OS BGX-1 available and an OS 160 FX available, also. I would go a gasser if need be. This will NOT be a build to go into any competition, just for me. Are you going to use separate servos in the wing, or the bellcrank method? Please keep a build thread going as it has already been very helpful.

We have a BT-13 out here at the March Air Base museum which I will go out take as many pics as I can. There is another over at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson which we are going to visit next month.

Status: offline 		rcflyer, that is a beautiful plane, sorry to hear what happened to it. althepal, Glad you are finding the thread helpful. I researched the internet and found very little anywhere on this kit. I hope you can post some detailed pictures of what you are starting with, it will be a help to several people. Feel free to post pictures as you go along with it please. I am not going to do mine super scale either. I want to keep it light as possible so it will be a plane that can be flown without a huge pucker factor. Look forward to seeing some pictures.
Denny

Status: offline 		Jim, I noticed some nice looking landing gear on your SVN. Where did you get them?

Denny, are you going to use the bellcranks in the wings or separate servos?

Until I figure how to post pics I could just email you the pics for posting. Or, get my Granddaughter over here to teach me.

Status: offline 		al, I will probably run separate servos the each flap and aileron. It would be a lot easier and dependable. I am taking my American Eagle BT-13 out to the MacDill AFB AIRFEST 2011 for static display. I got it down from the shelf for the first time since Top Gun. Havent seen it in a while, it has motivated me to get back on my Burt Baker BT-13. Feel free to send some pics, I will post them for you. If you already have digital pictures on your computer, that is a big first step to posting pictures here. Do you have them on your computer?

It does sound like the Bert Baker kit though.

Status: offline 		I have had American Eagle and Burt Baker BT-13s, I might be able to tell you which you have if its one of those two.Or you can do a search on RCU for BT-13, I believe I have pictures of the Burt Baker, and I am sure there are images of my American Eagle BT. The Burt Baker comes with plywood bulkheads installed, the American Eagle does not.
