Status: offline 		I'm interested in building a 1/4 scale version of the above. Should have a 71" span and about a 59" length. Would anyone know where I might get ahold of a good 3-view drawing and or photo?
Many thanks, Jim

Status: online 		Jim, so far all I've come up with is a construction article on the Whitehead 1/5 scale bird in a British scale mag. Same one that ran in RCM I'm sure. I know I've seen drawings for this bird. If I can dig 'em up you'll be the first to know. Best of luck, Chad.

Status: offline 		Hey Jim, Model Builder magazine published a 70" Krier Kraft some years ago, and I believe these plans are still available through Bill Northrop's Plan Service. You can reach him at: (702) 896-2162
Good choice...and good luck!
Regards, Nigel

Status: offline 		Well, I went and did it....I took a little trip to Ashland, KS., and saw the real thing at the Pioneer-Krier Museum. I took many pictures and took all kinds of measurements, and am just now starting to draw some 3-views! That plane is one the best looking planes I've ever seen. One thing though....I'm not sure whether to power it via I/C or electrics.....maybe I'll do BOTH!!
As you can tell...I'm just a little excited!! Jim

Haven't even thought about that, but I'll keep you in mind. The ink hasn't even dried yet! Jim

Status: offline 		Zebra - has the ink dried yet on your plans production ?!? How have you got on with your plans ?

Also, can I interest you in selling me a set of those pics you took of the Krier ?

At least, would you consider posting a pic on RCU ? Please, pretty please ! MalcolmL

I was going WAY back in RCU and saw you once mentioned a 1/4 scale kit of the Krier Kraft.
Do you still have them?
Thanks!

Hi - I'm still interested in a 1/4 scale plan of a Krier Kraft. Have there been any developments ? Is there an accurate plan out there somewhere ? MalcolmL
