I have the 102" Nosen/AA kit that was die crushed/cut. Prayers can be sent my way...

I started this build years ago and got a good way through before other life events interrupted my building. In the meantime this bird has bounced (literally) around my shop and I need to repair a few items before proceeding; specifically I need the patterns for the wing ribs root to tip and fuse formers. Can anyone accommodate?

Question Re: Nosen Not P-51

It would be easy to match up the parts, not much change in the wing ribs if any, the formers are little wider.. The first thing I do on the Nosen kits is replace the ply parts since the wood quality on most are not good... I don't know if you want to invest in my plans, the parts outline you need are on the prints but the prints are pricey $135 shipped,, I copy them at FedEx-Kinko as I need them, and it is not cheap to get the huge plans copied by them on the plotter, either way good luck on your project.

Here is the post for my original P-51 build that may help.

I realize this is an old thread but was hoping to get a set of George's plans to build from. Should anyone have a set they are willing to sell, i have a quadra 100 ready to go to work.

thank you.

Hello All ! Well, well... Look who's back. Me.

My life has had a LOT of changes in the last few years, and finally I am getting back to some flying.
Some building, but mostly maintenance and repairs from moving and storage.

Before anybody asks, my buddy George, who was doing all the plans and selling them - has retired and seems to not be flying any more. Why mention?
Because I still get emails looking for the plans. I helped, but George did all the heavy lifting on this project and dealt with selling the plans.

The P 51 is alive and well, after many flights and hard use. It needs a new canopy [ again ] and some minor ding/dent repair.

Just wanted to check in and say Hi. Will get some pics up soon

More canopy damage. I think there is a small crack developing in the side of fuse maybe? More investigation required.

Removed canopy. Sure enough, there's a small crack here. Will bleed some thin CA into it from the back.

Look closely and you can just see the crack.

Those look nice.. I don't know the conversion factor.. and I suspect shipping is expensive? Have you used them ?
