Do you mean that the reason you are calling again to talk to him is that he might have other parts for th H-1 too? Like cowl, canopy, something else?

So here it is in a nutshell: You will need to purchase the plans from Scale Plans and Photo Service as they do not come with the "kit". (this is SOP for plans built "kits")

The plans are available from Henry Budzynski at Scale Plans and Photo Service. http://scaleplansusa.com/ ........$40 + S&H

The "kit" is available from Precision Cut Kits.(6 weeks lead time) http://precisioncutkits.com/kit_inventory.htm ...$385 (wood Kit) $260 (short kit) + S&H

The Cowl is available from Fiberglass Specialties. http://www.fiberglassspecialtiesinc.com/catalog.htm ...............$39 + S&H

The canopy has to be fabricated from metal & thin acetate/plastic but Henry assured me that it is a fairly simple task as there are no compound curves to deal with. After all, we are talking about a plane from the mid 1930s.


Post #75 has been edited W/the above information & detailed instructions on navigating the sites linked above. If you have trouble finding the product for the Hughes H-1 Racer, refer to post #75.

Also note. The kit is spec'ed for a Quadro 35 which is probably slightly less powrerful than a Saito FA180 so an engine in the 2.8HP range is specified. This might not be sufficient if added scale detail brings the AUW above the 18# estimate.
