Default Pathfinder PLans

This is my way of giving back to all the clasic pattern guys out there that have supported Eureka Aircraft for the last 5+ years. Doesn't seem that long

A few guys were looking for the PATHFINDER, by Dan Deluca, and MAN doesn't do the plans anymore, and quite a few people have tried in vain to find them.

I finally decided to re-draw the plans in CAD, going by a blown up version of the article plans. It took a while, doing it between other more pressing stuff I need to do, but here they are!

I stayed as true to the original as possible, making only a few chages, you will see them when comparing the the plans to the magazine plans. There might be a few missing labels, and I didn't draw in the wing mounting bolts ot front dowel/tounge, figuring everybbody has thier way of doing that.

Remember to rename the .txt file to .PDF

A short kit and/or full kit will be available real soon.

Hopefully someone will do a build thread, from the short kit, or scratch built, as I sure don't have the time.

I will upload the article PDF later

Somewhere I have plans for a 40 size pathfinder. I believe is was called Olympia. Last time I opened the plans, the blue ink was fading on the paper. Yup, that old.

Sorry it took so long I know you have been waiting for it. Wish we could have found the original plans.
