Mr Palmer's Smoothie 1952
recently recived the plans orderd from the AMA plans service along with a few others. the plans say they were redrawn in 1997 with the help of bob palmer. the plans mention that these are the original wing shape and not the modified veco kit wing. been working on the plans because some of the lettering is barely readable they mayhave used another color that does not copy well. two versions are shown for the fusalage one with the engine inverted (engine not shown but the rails are positioned for this)the other version shown uprright cant read what's written above the upright version anyone know which is which? this is going to be a scratch build. still working on re inking the plans bright lights homemade light table and magnifying glass and have been able to read most of whats not there. real excited about the build. during research saw the palmer thunderbird and it appears to have the same wing assembly. hope to get into the wood as soon as i get the plans sorted out just having trouble reading the wing tip notes. more to come!
