Folkerts SK3
Hi folks, has anyone got any decent drawings or info, images of this machine. I am planning a 40% replica and need a half decent drawing to start from. The plan is to use a geared Zenoah 38 swinging something like a 29" x 22" prop. It'd be nice to find info on what wing section was used, also undercarriage details. I have an idea on what sections I'll use on the model, also some ideas on how the U/C worked, but it'd be nice to know before I commit. It'll be finished as Rudy Kling's Jupiter, 'Pride of Lemont', winner of the Thompson and Greve Trophies in 1937.
Heres hoping.

RE: Folkerts SK3
Many thanks for the couple of PM's I got on the subject, very much appreciated. I also spoke to the Mayor of Lemont who supplied some historical info on Kling and a bit on the SK3 too, though it was sadly not enough to get the project started. The last PM looks very promising, many thanks indeed Eric.
