Big JN-4 Jenny for Electric Power
Exploring the possability of a big Jenny for electric power with a sound system. Thinking about either the Dick Hansen 100" version, or Bud Nosen's 96" design. Does anyone have any experience with either design?

Do you have the plans? I have the old Hanson plans and if they are the ones you are looking at, they are pretty a basic, old design - not too scale.

I have the Hanson plan, but have not seen the Nosen plan. Neither are true scale, but close enough for a weekend sport flyer. And a good sound system will add to cool factor.

Terry,
I have the Proctor Jenny plans and I have blown them up 200% to 1/3 scale. The plans are incredible and would make a really nice big Jenny. It is on my to do list one of these days. At 1/3 scale it is like 174" span.
Later!!

RE: Big JN-4 Jenny for Electric Power
Terry, I agree, the JN-4 in a large scale is my next project. Coincidentally, I just got through (30 minutes ago) ordering the plans set from Proctor. Their stuff is first rate and I know you'll be satisfied with anything you get from them. They're advertising the fact that their model is easily transportable, with the rigging all remaining in tact for transportation. That's a big plus, as that is how I have designed my latest projects. My big bipes (30% Tiger Moth and 10' span DH Rapide) all assemble in less than 5 minutes.. Something to think about. The Proctor plan set also comes with the complete construction manual for their kit. That, and the complete parts list should help your planning as well. Good Luck.....wanna race?
