Status: offline 		Thanks for the reply Sam
I just discovered that a guy named Bob Nelitz made a set of plans for a large scale long time ago I think to fit 50cc engine. Not too sure if that's still available. What I have in mind is to build same size as the guy(don't know his name) I saw at last year's Joe Nall. I think he was part of the JR team. That plane was just simply gorgeous. He was doing some very low knife edge passes. If I remember correctly he had 108 3W engine in the nose with the Duane Cole color scheme. Even Quique Somenzini was flying it. If I could get hold of a set of plans of that plane I'd be more than happy.

http://www.reidsmodels.com./index.html

There isn't any listing for plans or kit of this size on their site. You might give them a call about it and see what they say. Here's a picture with three of them- two clipped and one not.

Status: offline 		Hi,

You might be in luck. I have a set of the Nelitz Clipped Wing Taylorcraft plans. They are 1/3 scale and are new. I bought them from a guy off of the IMAA Classifieds about 8 years ago and he bought them from Cedarbridge Scale (Nelitz's plans service) back in 1987. I still have his receipt for the original purchase. I have the Neltiz 1/3 scale Piper Cub that I plan to build "someday" but don't think I will get to the Taylorcraft. Specs are:

Wingspan 112"
Fuselage 88"
Weight 28-30 pounds
He says power is a Quadra 50 or bigger. Looks like plenty of room under the cowl for a twin 100.

These plans are a work of art just like all of Nelitz plans. There are a lot of scale details but an experienced builder will have no trouble. Will make a beautifull airplane.

I just looked at the plans and they say that the cowl in available from Hobby Barn. I just checked and they have a website and have the plans and the cowl listed. Check www.hobbybarn.com

If you want mine or just have any other questions about the plans send me an email.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the offer guys I made a quick move and purchased them from Dave Reids already. Wow, I never realised how huge 1/3 scale is. Looks like I have to build new work bench first 'cos mine is only good for building the stab I think . Now, I actualy would like to contact somebody who has build one and like to share some hints. I was searching for any old threads on building this one but no luck.
I appreciate any comments.
