My father-in-law just back from CA on a vacation. While he was there the realitive he was staying with had just purchased a used plane, full scale. It was a Cesna, he said a 140. I had not heard of such a plane but he brought back some pictures. I was a Cesna set up as a tail dragger. Two person plane and it looked a little smaller that a 152. Has anyone ever seen this plane. I fell in love with the pictures and want to build one. Has anyone ever seen a kit of this plane. I know I could get the drawings of the plane and go from there, but thats a lot of work.

Thanks alot you made my day.

The 140 Cessna was the 150/152 of its' day. Jack Stafford has a kit of this airplane. I have flown in two. Very cozy cabin, best to know whom your flying with fairly well. There are a few of these planes left and in flyable condition. Cessna, along with many other builders, started out with tail draggers and eventually switched to trike gear.

To view some Cessna 140's do a search on the name in www.airliners.net.
