Work in progress

That is great! Nice work BTW.
I love the tabs on the wing ribs to help build the wing properly!
Nice touch!
THANK YOU!

Very nice work. Is there a link to the P-47 plan posted here on fg

Thank you so much Pete! You do such good work, I'm very excited to get this together. I've been waiting for the final product for some time now!

by sharing your precious work you're inspiring me to be one,
Thanks a lot Pete!


Alfred.

Thanks for the plans. Always appreciated.
Now if I can just find the space and time.

Couple of people have contacted me and asked about printing the Monocoupe plan out, and what if the plan cannot be printed as a single sheet by their local print store? I've uploaded a file named Monocoupe print size guide file. This has a number of sizes included on the parts to give the printing staff a better idea on achieving the correct scale. A sample can be printed off the main plan and checked with the measurement guide before going ahead and doing the complete plan.
if the store has A0 paper then you wont need this guide......but its there to help if needed.

Original plan now being updated to a lighter weight and uses a faster build method.
New version will be posted here when completed.
This version is no longer available

Really appreciate what you are doing to keep building alive. Don't know how you do all of the building, flying, and other stuff you post here, but I'm sure glad you do.

Your plans look great Pete! I've got a couple of kits that I'm working on the next couple of months, or the next year.Lol I've never built a big plane straight from plans, but after looking at your plans it does give me the itch.

I just received my plans for the 30% Cap, they look great! Thank you for the time and effort that went into these.

This one (the CAP) doesn't have many parts to cut out which makes it more user friendly. Fairly easy to make some good progress once a few key parts are done which is always a good motivational point when building.

I have a lot that I drew up on paper and built over the past 14 years...different models for different trends at the time, what is slowing the process down is turning them into electronic format. Taking measurements from paper and drawing it onto CAD is painfully slow to get accurate. I miss the old days.

Pete,
I just received the plans for the Cap. They look great! It seems to be a straightforward build. I doubt I will change much when I build it.
