check out the thread 1/4 Swick Taylorcraft



I managed to find one of these almost completely built .Not completely but enough that I can say I did some of the work. At the present I am building the right wing left is already built. Do you know how much harder it is to build one to match a previously built by someone else. Like most people no one follow the plans 100% as with the wing I have to match . So I have to look at the plans look at the wing check cap strip etc sizes. The other thing I am using a wing jig the previous builder had and have never used one before not saying its not a good thing just a little different .. The instructions I have the pictures are dark (not that you can't use them )and grainy. Instructions well I read them and will reread them but as my build is further along than a Start I don't think I overly need them . I am sure some one out there makes a glass cowl for this plane but the cowl they describe made with wood that the top comes off sounds kinda like what I want ,not sure I will build it exactly as describe as with the materials used. This is one of the things I like about this hobby I can experiment and DO IT MY Way
If I can find the scanner we had here and get it to work and you would like a copy of the instructions PM me here with your email address I will be glad to send them
