Default Weeks Solution

Looking for A Weeks solution kit in 60 size or there abouts. Performance Model Aircraft used to make one but it seems they went under?? It was operated by Mark Veits. If anyone has any info it would be A great help. I don't want anything in 33%, just A nice mid sized weekender that fits in the car.

Grey Beard I am afraid you are going to have to get a set of plans and scratch one. It is not hard. I use regular printer fan fold paper (I have a whole box with no printer to use it with) and trace the parts and cut them out. A simple scroll saw will do the job of cutting the parts out. I saw a coulpa cheapies that look nice at my local Home DEpot for less than 100 bucks with stand. That and your regular tools are all you need. Try RCM, MAN and the AMA site they have some real nice plans in the size you want. I believe I saw a Solution in one of them. Good luck in your search.

Thanks, I am A scratch builder and have all my tools {Like that could really happen} but I was looking to find that kit from performance. I will go to the AMA site though, thanks, I forgot about them, but RCM and MAN didn't have plans for A Weeks. I fear your right though and I will have to scratch this one out too.

Miles Reed designed the best Weeks around in a varity of sizes. I have the 70 Solution and 77" Solution X, but he also designed a 90" Weeks Solution XX and a 60" version for 1.20 glow. Dave Dressecker bought the rights to Miles' plans when he retired. Email me for his information as well as Gary Villard who does cowls, pants, canopies for these planes.

I can get you a short kit of the 60inch Solution if you are interested.

This was an old post and I ended up building the Aeromaster when I couldn't find A Weeks. This winter I am building an 80 inch Sukhoi 29 and staying away from Bipes for A while, I have four of them in the hanger right now.
Thanks for the reply though.
