    Airplane Wanted Easy Riser kit or wreckage or at least the airfoil

    Christof, Somewhere I read you also were interested in getting the profile for the foam/wood rib attachment gussets. Here is a drawing I used to fabricate replacement gussets for a wing I had to repair. I am attaching it as a PDF. I would also transcribe the text off my original plan sheet on...

    Parts Wanted Mitchell Wing "instructional manual" (not the plan sheets)

    HW, I don't know how I missed it but it turns out that what you posted on DropBox contained what appears to be the complete Mitchell Wing build manual including the photos and is not missing the even pages as I had previously thought. Thanks again for sharing this documentation. I may continue...

    Airplane Wanted Easy Riser kit or wreckage or at least the airfoil

    Christof, I generated this from an original foam rib blank I had from a kit bought back in the 70's. It is the profile of the foam blank which is then capped with 1/8 inch by 1/2 inch spruce cap strips. Hope this helps. You might be interested in looking at my blog(s) regarding building and...

    Parts Wanted Mitchell Wing "instructional manual" (not the plan sheets)

    I actually purchased a set of the drawings from the last site that was selling them. It's been several years ago now. I remember speaking to the lady that was selling them and she said she had a few more copies left and when they were gone she had no plans to pursue generating more. Her...

    Parts Wanted Mitchell Wing "instructional manual" (not the plan sheets)

    Thanks for looking. I also have the Larry Collier book and agree, it's not all that helpful. I'll try another post and see if I can get a response from someone out there that might still have a copy of the "Instruction Manual". John

    Parts Wanted Mitchell Wing "instructional manual" (not the plan sheets)

    On second thought, probably the most efficient way to do this is for me to digitize the plan set and send you the file. Much more efficient. That way you could go to your local print shop and generate the hardcopy plan sheets rather than me shipping them. Let me know what file type you would...

    Parts Wanted Mitchell Wing "instructional manual" (not the plan sheets)

    Yes, I would make you a set from the ones I have. I did this for the Easy Riser plan set for someone else and used the local FedEx shop to do the large format copies. It worked out well. Those plans were in much worse shape than the set I have for the Mitchell Wing so it should be easy. I...

    Parts Wanted Mitchell Wing "instructional manual" (not the plan sheets)

    Thanks so much!! I was able to download both files and print them. I did notice that the series of photos document seemed to be skipping every even numbered page so the first one (lower-right corner of the page) is 1/B-10 with photos 1-4, then the next page is 3/B-10 with photos 8-11, etc. Do...

    Parts Wanted Mitchell Wing "instructional manual" (not the plan sheets)

    I have a couple sets of blue prints (14 full-size sheets) for the Mitchell Wing B-10 wood structure flying wing. There are references on some of these sheets to pages in another document that I do not have which I assume is the "instructional manual". This "manual" is also mentioned in a book...

    Facetmobile

    The lead builder (who you see in the photos I took for EAA292) has been in contact with Barnaby and has an agreement with him regarding this project. This is the proto build and if it flies and handles as hoped there are several other chapter members who have already done some of the...

    Mitchell Wing B-10 plans question re: wing attach fitting

    I have a partially constructed B-10 and cannot figure out how the leading edge wing attach fitting is supposed to be installed. Sheet #7 has drawings but they are really insufficient to get this right. I have asked a long-time technical advisor at my local EAA shop and he suggested I try a...

    How to build a better Swift?

    Dan, I've had a similar interest for much the same reasons. I gave up and decided to build a B-10. Since I'm in Dallas, OR, I'd be very interested to find out if you ever went ahead and started a build. My B-10 is being built at the EAA shop in Independence, OR. John
