Here is a scan (had to do it in four parts and 'paste' them together) - This is a jpg and I don't know if I can
make it a pdf - it might be too big for my 'doc2pdf' converter.
In fact, if you want a better copy, just PM me your mailing address and I'll mail you one- I found an extra.
Since this was a kit plan, there are no dimensions listed on it so I put a 5 inch scale up by the title box.
and RCU will probably not store it full size, since it is at 75 dpi right now (1760 x 1188). I'll email you
the full size version at the address above.
There is a little distortion, but really, it came out pretty good.
I don't know if you are familiar with CMI - Carr Models, Inc. (I think). The "Carr" in CMI is Johnny Carr, who
designed the Guillotine for Combat and kitted that and several 1/2A's of similar construction to this one.
Johnny is a member of our club and up until last year was still flying a little and has some really nice flying
1/2A combat planes of more modern design.
thanks for the memories. I grew up in Des moines and was active in 1970-1972 when CMI formed and produced kits. Also knew Dean Swift who designed these models.
Left in '72 for the air force and never lived there again. Glad Johnny was (and hopefully is) around and active. He "retired" from competition back in '72 or so.
added: Ialso remember Dean Swift wrote an article on one of the 1/2 kits for the magazine. His "peal the bark off the balsa" type writing style is entertaining.
