Default looking for the building instructions for the Migi-Ball by Art Schroeder

Hello, I will be building a Migi-Ball from plans by Art Schroeder. I am looking for the building article that was published in MAN. I was told by Art that it was published in 1971(I believe, not sure what month). If anyone can help, please let me know. Thanks MK

Contact Rich Lagrange at the AMA Museum. He can look up, search, and copy almost any published piece for you. The fee was nominal and the service excellent when I asked for his help. If you can find the date and page(s), it will save you a little money. Darn it, the MAN web site lists the plan, but not the pub date.

fsp08724. The 0872 part of the plan number designates Aug 1972. The "4" part I forget. They used to have a "level of difficulty" code once upon a time, maybe thats it. But it doesn't seem as though it would be that difficult of a build to warrant a "4". Anybody no for sure?

That helps me out a bunch! Thanks RGM. Now I can contact Rich at the AMA and save him a lot of time looking for it.

My pleasure. Best of luck to you. Arts Eyeball series, along with Jm Martins Banshee, were among the early "in liners" and were honest, stable flyers. And fairly quick too. I still have a soft spot for the old style pattern birds.

To me, the older style pattern birds are my favorite planes to fly!
