Bill Northrop's Blanik plans and other
Hello all,
After much searching for a 3 meter set of plans for a Blanik glider, I have only found a set of Chez plans made by Joroslav Rafa, of 3250mm wingspan. I downloaded plans from http://www.glidernet.com/Plan.htm
But I have also read many people hace the old set of plans from Bill Northrop which must be more or less the same size. Does anyone have those plans in electronic format that could send them to me??
I would like to compare them before deciding which one I should attempt to build. I contacted kit cutters some time ago and said they where not producing anymore cnc kits for those plans.
It would also be interesting to know of someone here has ever made the Chez model, and if someone had the opportunity to translate the manual.
Best regards
paco
