Designs from 1929-1933

[ultralajt]

Hi!

I unexpectedly came accros five issues of EAA "Flight Manual", magazine for homebuilders from early years of homebuilt aeroplanes. (on one Russian aeroplane builders forum)
I was amazed, how well drawn plans they did back then, and the awerall quality of those magazines!
I was amazed also by the simplicity of those early designs.

Of course many of those structures will not meet today modern requirements (strength, safety, and other..), but I am still impressed.

So I want to share with you links where you can download all five issues and enjoy browsing trough a part of homebuild aeroplane history.
You will find plans and assembly instructions for various homebuild sportplanes from past such as:

- Heath "Super Parasol"
- Russel Henderson Monoplane
- Easy to build Glider
- Baby Bullet racer
- Lincoln Biplane
- Northrop Glider
- Alco Sportplane
- Longster
- Georgias Special
- Driggs Dart
- Church Midwing Sport Monoplane
- Pietenpol "Air Camper"
- Powell "P-H" Racer
- Heath "Super Soarer" Glider
- Ramsey "Flying Bathtub"
- Gere Sport Biplane
- Pietenpol "Sky Scout"
- Henderson Longster
and many more, like floats, props, engine conversions....
