I have aquired a set of plans for the PJ295.

Does any one know the original kit cutter?

Any one have information on CG, control throws ect?

Sources for the cowl, pants, canopy?

Thanks.

Cowl and wheel pants can be obtained from Fiberglass Masters. The canopy from a Byron's S-2 Pitts (try Iron Bay Models) can be trimmed down to fit. As for control throws: all the rudder you can get, start with 1" up and down (measured at the widest point) for the elevators, and start with 3/4" up and down on the ailerons. You may want to change these throws after the maiden flight to suit your flying style.

I don't remember who cut the original Walt Moucha kits. You might inquire at American Kit Cutters.

I built my WM kit around 1993, but it didn't last me too long. Bare frame (stuffed) was 16 pounds with a 4 cubic inch gasser, but that wieght doubled with cloth and paint finish, and landing speed was on the fast side.

Side note: When I built mine, Walt's direction booklet included 3-views of the full scale planes. They showed a 2 degree offset in the vertical fin, where his plans showed 0-0-0-0 for all incidences. With the firewall at 0 degrees (right and down thrust), I offset the fin 1/8" left at the leading edge, which resulted in only a click or two right rudder trim after the maiden flight. With the semi-symmetrical airfoil, I added between 1 and 1 1/2 degrees of positive in the stab, and -1 degree decolage in the upper wing. It flew very well with that setup. Suggest you cover with plastic film to keep the overall weight to a minimum.

Good luck with your project,
Rich
