If you happen to build one of these and get it completely ready to fly and think. Hmmmmm we should probably give this to someone, I'm your Huckleberry!!
(Hey, a guy can set unrealistic goals right?!?!)

OK Huckleberry!!! You meet me at Nall and you get to fly it. Matter of fact If we can get all the following complete by Nall you can take a spin on each!!

26% JTEC/TRUEWORTHY PITTS 12 ready to go
41% TRUEWORTHY PITTS 12 almost ready
3.1 EXTRA 300CS in process
2.7 EXTRA 300CS in process

1/3 scale T CRAFT. in Dr E's hands to have built and ready for equipment. BTW: thish is 112" wing span

This is the current list of kit we make and have in process. Hopefully will fly the 3.1CS tomorrow.

I call dibs on 3.1 first... not that Sleepy isn't a qualified pilot and all.... but you know, just in case

Taylorcraft is looking good. Can't wait to see what else is coming from the woodworks.

That wing build looks good and light, should be interesting to see what it weighs when done.

I have been wanting to build one up like this for years just waiting to get the other things done.

This is JTEC's personal plane, Like Rick's its a modification of plans originally designed by Bob Nelitz.

The wing in this thread is of our design, not the one on the plans offered by Rick Barch. It is built using the plans as a reference and Ricks mods using the wing tube and mounting but obviously different construction and material.

Again we have taken liberties and are making modifications to the way we want it to fly. The plans are being used as a reference only

Again we are cutting the short kit and can cut it to the plans or with any mods the customer would like.

Cool me too enjoy Dr.E.

Well I got the glue drying on the wings I did some prep work for the fuselage.

Some of the formers need to be 3/8 what i got was 1/8 in and they need to be glued together and thats not a bad thing cuz when your done it will be 9 layer plywood very very strong.

Dr.E.

I have had several request for plans. We do not have the plans other that the copy we bought and do not sell them . Please contact Ritchie rich here on FG. He can set you up with the plans as originally designed with his modifications.

We will be happy to laser cut the parts for you.

Thanks
Al

Hi J'Tec Crew!
So what would a laser-cut short kit include, and what would be the cost?

I have the Nelitz plans and have been wanting to build a modified version like Lonnie's or Warren's (the one's I have seen at `Nall)..... just haven't had the time to figure out the mod's. Looks like with the build thread that was doen, and a laser-cut short kit.... should be able to finally get around to doing the build!

Thanks for any info you can provide!
