Please let me know if you have a set of J-3 kitten plans and full size of rib pattern.

Yes please.I have a full set of plans in jpeg. They look like they were scanned in from an original blue print, so I doubt they have a full size rib drawing.
The wing rib looks like a flat bottom Clark Y. If you want the coordinates I can transcribe them, but I am hesitant to post the drawings because of copyright issues.
No plans, I'm afraid. Just advertising from "back in the day," and a long-time fan. Please see PM.Please let me know if you have a set of J-3 kitten plans and full size of rib pattern.

Hello Fritz,I probably have the same ~46 pages of plans as everyone else but there seems to be enough info there to make some serious SolidWorks drawings of the ribs.

Same thing I have.Here is what I have , might help? Probably can be printed out full size?View attachment 75712View attachment 75713
It is obvious that you aren’t old enough to have actually worked with blueprints, and the attendant silver, yellow and red pencils.View attachment 75712View attachment 75713
Same thing I have.
Since they are jpegs of (obviously old) blueprints, you don't know what 'full size' means, so how can they be printed full size? It would be better to take the coordinates and draw them out by hand.

There you go and done it. I thought I was the only one here that has done double sided circuit board layout by hand. Got snapped by high plate voltage from the vacuum tubes.How old do you think I am?
I have worked with blueprints. Also done double sided circuit board layout by hand. Wire wrap directly from the schematic. Used punched cards and punched tape. Aligned 8 inch floppy drives. Zapped myself on a tube transmitter. Stabbed my thumb on 14 pin integrated circuits.
By "obviously old blueprints" I meant that the edges are torn and wrinkled. So it should not be relied on to be "full size", since paper can expand and contract with humidity.
600v @ 500 mA!!!! Took over 30 years for the nerves in my finger to recover. Can still see the scar at the entry point on my knuckle. Tip of my finger was charred.There you go and done it.

Since the jpegs are gray-scale, how do you know that the originals were not blue?Blueprints are blue. The drawiings / prints shown are not blueprints.

Felt like I get hit by a sledge hammer and I hit the floor. Couldn't move my right arm for a while. It was 375 v . Something you will never forget.600v @ 500 mA!!!!

If they were blueprints, the base color would be blue and the lines light. A gray scale copy would have black or brown base color with light lines.Since the jpegs are gray-scale, how do you know that the originals were not blue?
