Default Rhett Miller Compensator

Hey Guys!

I recently came across the fuselage plan for the Compensator and I need the wing plan. Does anybody have a copy they would like to sell or make a copy of? The plans were published in MAN January 1974 and MAN doesn't sell them anymore. I looked through their plans site and it's not there. Thanks for the help!

Freebird I have a file I can send you with the plans. You just have to take them to the print shop and have them printed.

email me at [email protected]

Thanks for the offer Dan. What type of file is it? PDF would be the best method. TIA

Fedex Kinko's in Branford has a scanner copier that will do 36" wide and take PDF and TIFF among others. When I did the Tiger Tail plans for Eureka I made 400dpi TIFF and the detail was great. Check with your local Fedex Kinko's or I can get them printed in Branford. Right down the street from my office (when I'm not on a plane).

Hope to see you this weekend.

Peace

Thanks for the offer Mark! I'll take you up on it if someone doesn't come through with a hard copy. My local Staples and print from PDF or TIFF files. A real bummer.

Saturday is the only day I can get out this weekend. Gotta work on Sunday.

I saw that a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the reminder.

If you go to Eureka Aircraft's site, they now offer a Compensator short kit! Another classic lives again!

Sorry about the delay answering, been gone. They are in Pdf form. I have mine done at Kinkos. It costs about 10 0r 12 bucks Have you emailed me? I had a couple of requests I sent before I left. If it wasn't you send me your private address. These are zip files and the forum will not accept them in its private mail. I also have a file of the Curare.

]I thought you might enjoy these few pic's of my Compensator. It is the original kit which I just put together last year. Only change I made was to make it a tail dragger. Flies like a dream, OS .61 FS up front.
