Default Drawings/plan for DC-3

Hi Guys,

Can anyone please point me in the right direction for drawings/plans for a DC-3 kit with an all-up weight of max. 6-7kg?

Any assistance is highly appreciated.

Happy New Year to all of You!

The Top Flite DC-3 is perfect. Its final weight is about 10-15 pounds (about 6-7kg). It comes as a full kit.

Hope this helps!

My bad, the Top Flite DC-3 has a weight range of 8-10 pounds. Well in your range.

I was saying well in his range as not way above and not way below. Its below by some pounds, but not much.

I once found a digitized copy of a 1940s blue print buried deep on the internet. Came across it by accident, and once I realized it had all the actual dimensions and cross sections, I built a static 45” ws model – it was my first build after 30+ years. I’m not sure if the reproduction quality is good enough for a flying model, but the drawings couldn’t hurt. I’ll look for them. Keep looking, there’s a lot of DC-3 stuff out there, not much on the DC-4 though.

Like I said, it was my first build after 30+ years, when I cut the windows in I came across a stringer – didn’t plan for that!
