RE: TOM BRETT'S DESIGNS-UPDATE
FB-
Way to go......it's a pretty paint scheme isn't it?
Thought I'd post three pictures to give you a feel for how the original plans looked by spreading them out on a table, (on my deck for extra light). Tom worked with relatively narrow, but sometimes long drawings that looked very much like scrolls when rolled up. These rolls were all located in a cabinet in his drawing room.
The condition of the fuselage sheets was readable, but dark and faded as you might expect from something this old. The fuselage and rib template sheets were darkest, and suffered the most in the copying process. As you can see, the wing sheets were in good shape...I wish they all looked like the wing sheets.
About the wing, (sheet 3, I think), there was another duplicate but reversed, (ie backward) sheet included, so both sides of the wing could be built at the same time. There is a note on the plan that tells you to cut and join the plan on "this line."
Not too much time to work on the plan pictures today.
