Hello Everyone,

This is the BETA short kit for Carl (Bud) Weber's plane: SEQUEL cut by Dan @ Laser Technologies ([email protected]). Dan decided to draw a new set of plans to include one wing panel at full size with the critical measurements listed on it and have a clean plan to work with. The only source of plans I could find was the AMA which took the 8 1/2" x 11" plan from the magazine article and printed it at full size. That copy was not acceptable for this project.

Most of the contents of the short kit are pictured. The short kit will include a Flying Fork System and a Compensator Canopy which we think was used in the original construction article. Not pictured are the foam wing panels, and the built up vertical fin and rudder. If you wish, you can cut the vertical fin and rudder from 3/4" sheet as in the original article/design. Dan is waiting for the foam and is working on the drawing for the vertical fin and rudder. Pictures of those items will be added to this thread shortly.

I now own the original Flying Fork Mold that was made for Bob Violett by Molder Maker, Alvin Sagar in the 1973/1974 time frame. It was fun to track down since the only information I had was a shipping receipt from 6/15/1980! You will see the mold in the pictures. I plan to preserve the mold and will leave it to someone else in the future when my time is up.

I have wanted to build this one for sometime now and will be starting on it shortly. The first thing to be built is the Flying Stab. Please contact Dan @ Laser Technologies if you are interested in the SEQUEL short kit. Dan has many more of the Classic Pattern Planes planned for the future.
