Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some hawker tempest plans with about a 90in wing?

Vailly Aviation do a 96 inch wingspan which is very nice - designed I believe by Roy Vaillancourt with some very nice accessories such as a lovely cockpit kit.

Please see www.vaillyaviation.com

Unitracts in the UK carries the Tempest plans and accessories by Sepp Uiberlacher (sp?) which, as I recall, are around 86 inches span. These are probably about as accurate a set of plans as you will find as well.

Jerry Bates has a set of plans for a Tempest II 87" Wingspan. Hope to start on mine......someday.

Well I went with the vailly plans I got them just on christmas they look great I guess I have a lot of work ahead of me. One thing I noticed about the plans is that they dont show servo locations or mounting and linkage systems for control surfaces does any body lnow any sites of people who have built a tempest off these plans so I can get a few hints?

I just aquired a hawker tempest kit, The Vailly design. I am need of a cowl and canopy if anyone has one laying around. I have to finish my P-47 and F-6F Hellcat before starting but would like to get the parts at a good cost if possible.
Thanks, Denny

ImpScale puts out plans for the Tempest. A little smaller than 90 at 82", but they are VERY nice plans:

THIS Tempest thing is a real tough one . I have a blown up set of BT MK5 Tempest plans , its the 60 size brought up to
about 85 inch , I LOVE the BT CONSTRUCTION methods . There is a tempest 2 wing kit on kit cutters, but its the tem 2 wing,
which has an air intake on the starbord leading edge, the MK 5 doesnt have this, if i can use this wing it will save me alot of trouble.
, but i dont think i can . does ANYONE Know ? the imps are great , but to pricey for me . the sepp tempest is great , but the uk exchange rate will bury me.

I don't think the UK exchange rate is so bad now. You might take a look first.

I'm not so sure about IMP's plans. I have yet to see a model built from them and to me that says a lot.

You can get fiber glass fuse's now for Roy's planes. They are excellent!!

You can order these direct from Roy at Vailley aviation

Actually I realized I have a Typhoon kit, not a Tempest. I was hoping to be able to find the parts second hand at a reduced price. I traded for the kit and the retracts, I would never have been able to afford to buy what I have if it had been the full price from the manufacturers. The cowl and canopy will actually be cheap compared to the cost of the kit and the Sierra retracts, I have about $200 into the kit and retracts so if I have to buy the items from Vailly, it wont hurt too much.

Thanks for the help,
Denny

that is what I did, I got plans, canopy, spinner, cowl and tail fairings, dummy exhausts off Roy Vaillincourt and obtained the full wood kit from PCK.

Have ordered the scale retracts from Sierra and have a DA-85 sitting on the shelf.

There are plenty of the ImpScale planes out there, you just need to know where to look. The plans are done by Claude Baskin. I'll see if I can get some photos from Greg.

Oh and they have a glass fuse for the plane too...
