i as just looking over the plans and realized there is no cowl rings to make the rounded shape on the front of the cowl. now i know this wont be a big deal to produce without plans but i need to know what is the offset of each ring and is the final ring wider then the rest ? im just waiting to hear back from the print shop and for the wood order to arrive and im getting started on one
ps one more question i was thinking of using a ftl45cc from united hobbies any opinions on tht motor in this plane or something similar.
and before anyone says it i will say it now a da or zdz is out of the question just to expensive and to be honest completley over priced IMHO.

I believe he used a standard Cad program.

A number of folks were having real big problems getting them printed.
To help out with printing problems, BBT sent me his original design file.

Please guys, don't ask for it .
I promised BBT that I would not release the CAD file to nobody.

If someone wanted the M12 reduced or enlarged, I can re-scale and print that, as big as you want!

Mike Emilio

Look at the plans again. The cowl rings are shown.
Just scale them off your plan.

Perhaps you don't have BBT's plan, but that of someone else??

Looks great!!Good work, skyhawk007What flyig weight of your plane?What engine used?

skyhawk007

I havent weighed it properly yet but I think Im looking at about 9.5kg as I sheeted the entire fuse, the donk is a 53cc 3MM gasser which by the feel of it will have a massive amount of grunt she wants to creep forward at idle

skyhawk007,

Just out of curiosity, what covering did you choose for your Pitts? The finish looks great!

I tried to do everything on a tight budget so the cheapest way was tower cover from tower hobbies (yellow) all the black and silver is vinyl decals that a friend made for me at his print factory.

MasterAlex

That's Towercote?!![X(]

Wow, now I'm even more impressed.

You can get them here : http://gundersonaerodesign.com/produ...rtkits/burton/
It is well worth the mony to get them from Rich, very nice plans, and he did a real nice job on the Kits.

MasterAlex

... if I remember correctly the plans were drawn for Metric sized wood. That might be another contributing factor to just get the kit/plans from Rich as he's already got the proper sized stock.

First of all, thanks for the kind words agertlof and MasterAlex

MasterAlex you are right about the Metric sized wood, as BBT designed the Pitts to use the materials that are common in Belgium. Now comes time for the shameless plug... I custom ordered the metric sized wood to use in the laser cut kits, which is especially useful here in the states where it is nearly impossible to find metric sized stock. OK, I got it out of my system Now let's get back to seeing more photos of the finished product! I am very eager to see who posts the first flight video.

Cheers!

mikeperik

The plans are not available in DXF format.

cicoeuk

ok a cad format then?

mmattockx

I believe that they are available pdf only.

Mark

cicoeuk

if the ar in pdf how do you print plans on A0 paper?

total newbie to scratch building doh!

mmattockx

What size is A0? Here (Calgary, Alberta, Canada), I would take them to a print shop that has a large format printer and have them printed off at full size.
