"Gipsy Moth" 1/2a scale drawings?
I've been building a peanut scale Gispy Moth this winter for fun, but my fingers are a bit too big and clumsy for that kind of stuff...
Does anyone have any 1/2a scale drawings, or know of a source?
(could simply enlarge the drawings 3 times I guess but things like the wingprofile don't seem very scale like)
PS I've attached a picture of the current build status, I bought this "kit" on a closeout sale in 1980 and just didn't come around to starting the build before this winter...

Check AMA Model Aviation archives on the web. There was a 1/2A Gypsy Moth plan and construction article just a few years ago. Span was 35 inches, engine was Norvel .061, if memory serves. Jim

FWIW, Keith Laumer published a 1/2A Tiger Moth in Flying Models in 1963. Nicely done for simple construction and a Babe Bee.
