    Fisher Flying Products New Ownership/Factories?

    Interesting... Did it have the same general construction as the shorter span wings? Wonder if the new plans still show that. From what I gathered it sounds like the plans for the 202 haven't changed much over the decades so maybe...

    Thanks for all the help and info everyone. I am writing this to confirm what was already said by Mike Von S in his comment above. I called Dave Hertner today to ask some of the questions that I as well as some others on these forums had, he was very helpful and answered everything. Here are...

    Where did you happen to find a digital version of their plans?

    I would suggest reading my earlier posts in this thread where I mention my situation and where I'm currently not living. (I'm not in the states right now) I'm in a different country very far from Ontario (where the plans will likely be shipped from) and even if I purchased the plans and had...

    Thanks, this is exactly what I was wanting to know and is very helpful. From what others were saying about the plans it sounded like they were hard to read. Seeing an actual picture tells me that I can understand them and it won't be very difficult.

    Fisher Flying Products New Ownership/Factories?

    Sorry to keep pestering you with questions, I'm just wondering how detailed they are and you happen to have access to them. Do the drawings specify the hardware needed? Like "use 1/4 inch grade 5 bolt here " or "use 3/16 blind rivets to fasten this piece " or "Use 1/8 inch aircraft cable" or is...

    I know you bought different plans, and it sounds like you bought yours awhile ago but I'd like to ask you the same questions I asked Pops, just to get your opinion. Does it say general things like "use 1/8 inch birch aircraft plywood for this part" or "use 1 inch by 1/2 inch spruce for this...

    So it almost sounds like you need to buy a kit with the plans. I'm not exactly expecting a "step by step" walkthrough with the plans, I can read plans for most things easily and understand them well enough to do what needs to be done. It doesn't even say general things like "use 1/8 inch...

    Please, tell me more about the 202 plans. Do they have ALL of the information you need to build the aircraft (lists of all materials, hardware, paint, fabric, glue, etc. as well as all the steps/procedures) or are the kits necessary to build the aircraft?

    Fisher Flying Products New Ownership/Factories?

    Here are the questions that I will ask, some are only relevant to my situation since I am living abroad and may need the plans stored for at least 6 months: Are your plans on a stable medium? (Paper that will not be effected by humidity etc. since they're full size patterns) What kind of...

    Any FP-202 owners/builders that can chime in about the plans? I may start a new thread about this
  12. MGriffin

    Fisher Flying Products New Ownership/Factories?

    Was the tube sealed? Yes I'm looking very specifically at the fp-202 but this info still helps. Thanks. From what I've read/heard already you need a fairly well equipped tool arsenal to build their kits, that's okay with me. I have an extensive tool collection already but am always looking to...

    Tell me more. I am going to call and ask a bunch of questions on Monday. I'm very determined to build a FP-202 in the future so I want to know everything about their new business owner and new factories.

    Do you know anything about the new owners, new factories, or quality control?
  15. MGriffin

    Fisher Flying Products New Ownership/Factories?

    Can you tell me more about their plans? Is it possible to build a complete aircraft from their plans without buying their kits or does it lack too many dimensions and critical information? Does it give a complete list of different materials needed and how much you need of everything? What kind...

    Fisher Flying Products New Ownership/Factories?

    Does anyone happen to know what material the plans will be printed on? I want to have a family member buy them and put them in storage for me but I need to know if they will handle some humidity and temperature fluctuations, or if they're printed on crappy paper that will fall apart with a...

    You make some good points. I don't want to turn this into a "complaining about modern America thread", but times are vastly different now and that's something many people fail to admit or recognize. The US is not what it was in many ways. Even in the US with how "good" we have it, homes are...

    DuroMax has a New 500cc, 20hp@3600rpm Single Cylinder!

    Well guys, customer service from Zongshen got back to me. It doesn't look good for the aftermarket parts situation and the 625cc engine.

    I don't disagree with everything you said here, but I think the market is still there in the US and Canada. Although many Americans and Canadians are suffering from high prices and inflation we still realistically have more disposable income than most of the rest of the world, including a lot of...

    Fisher Flying Products New Ownership/Factories?

    It's really unfortunate, but this is probably what happened. Of course I don't know for sure so this is just speculation. I'm not stateside at the moment so I'm unable to really buy anything without paying a ton for shipping. Buying the plans would be the best route for now. The tools...
