RE: Planes by Dick Erickson
Wow! Nice!
Quite a lot of trim detail for a half A plane!
A really nice touch is the tinted (and possibly molded?) windscreen.
I Scanned my article and plan for the Delta Shrike and it came out unsatisfactory. The plan itself is mostly to blame. The problem is caused by the water damage to the pages. Many of the straight plan lines are wavy! Only a little bit, but enough to easily notice. Add to this the fact that the plan was split over two pages and in the center there is a gap the scanner cannot see( I was pressing down to try to help this during the scan) as well as the lines don't match up.
I would have to take the magazine apart and tape the two parts together so that there would be no gap or mismatch. The wavyness I am afraid would still remain.
No problem as I mentioned before the plan should be available from AMA services.
My scans are far to large to upload here. I just noticed I must have gotten some ink on my scanner screen I need to get off.
Note to self: Must let ink dry before slapping it in the scanner!
