Huge 1/5 scale highly detailed 6 page plan.
Being KISSed designed. This plane will fly like a puppy and look like the real thing when finished.
This is a big plane but it is well designed and easy to build. I think that even a novice could build this puppy.
105" wing span. 85" length. 21" chord. 2,160 sq. in. Power 2 cu. in. Quadra shown.
HISTORY: On May 21, 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh completed the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight in history, flying his Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis" 5,810 kilometers (3,610 miles) between Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, and Paris, France, in 33 hours, 30 minutes. With this flight, Lindbergh won the $25,000 prize offered by New York hotel owner Raymond Orteig to the first aviator to fly an aircraft directly across the Atlantic between New York and Paris. When he landed at Le Bourget Field in Paris, Lindbergh became a world hero who would remain in the public eye for decades.
The aftermath of the flight was the "Lindbergh boom" in aviation: aircraft industry stocks rose in value and interest in flying skyrocketed. Lindbergh's subsequent U.S. tour in the "Spirit of St. Louis" demonstrated the potential of the airplane as a safe, reliable mode of transportation. Following the U.S. tour, Lindbergh took the aircraft on a goodwill flight to Central and South America, where flags of the countries he visited were painted on the cowling.
"Spirit of St. Louis" was named in honor of Lindbergh's supporters in St. Louis, Missouri, who paid for the aircraft. "NYP" is an acronym for "New York-Paris," the object of the flight.
Gift of Charles A. Lindbergh.
Design Features: The "Spirit of St. Louis" was designed by Donald Hall under the direct supervision of Charles Lindbergh. It is a highly modified version of a conventional Ryan M-2 strut-braced monoplane, powered by a reliable Wright J-5C engine. Because the fuel tanks were located ahead of the cockpit for safety in case of an accident, Lindbergh could not see directly ahead, except by using a periscope on the left side or by turning the airplane and looking out a side window.

This plane is well designed and easy to build. I think that even a novice could build this well designed aircraft. Machine guns are available from William's.
HISTORY: Few aircraft of the World War I period have received the attention given the Fokker Dr.I triplane. Often linked with the career of the highest scoring ace of that war, Germany's Rittmeister Manfred von Richthofen, the nimble Dr. I earned a reputation as one of the best "dogfighters" of the war. The Fokker Dr. I was ordered into production on July 14, 1917, in response to the success earlier in that year of the British Sopwith Triplane. The first Dr. Is appeared over the Western Front in August, 1917. Pilots were impressed with its maneuverability, and several, including von Richthofen, soon scored victories with the highly maneuverable triplane. Nineteen of Richthofen's last 21 victories were achieved while he was flying the Dr. I. Fokker built 320 Dr. Is. For a brief period production was suspended while the wings were redesigned to prevent in-flight failures (Ouch!). By May 1918 the Dr I was being replaced by the newer and faster Fokker D VII. No known original Fokker Dr. Is have survived.

As you can see, the plans sold by great_plans on eBay are the same plans as mine. I was wondering how he could have so many of my plans listed for sale?.... So using my sniper, I won the auction. To my suprise, he was a customer of mine! He would purchase the plans under one name, pay me in cash, and relist them under great plans in about 6 months later. This dirt bag has many plans of mine listed on Ebay. And NO! EBay will do NOTHING about it. They once told me to prove it! Well eBay, your SOBS too! I'll take actions into my own hands. Here is his address. Let the world know a thief and a con man lives at this address:
| Lok Man TSAI |
| 126-3880 Westminster Hwy. |
| Richmond, BC V7C 5S1 |

Canada
Please help me. Bid on any of his plans, And NEVER pay him. Give him Negative feed back using this line;
copyrighted plans, not his plans to sell. Simply copy and paste. Help me drive this SOB from eBay. |
And Lok, you SOB, Relist MY copyrighted plan again and you will hear from my lawyer!
Which is far better than meeting me it the dead on night!

BIG 79" wing span x 3 wings eguals a WHOPPING 239" of wing span! Wing chord 9.75". Wing area 2,300 sq. inches! 58" length. Power, Quadra engine called for?
The tires are 7 1/2" in diameter! 1/4 scale.
HISTORY: In their search for an outstanding fighting aeroplane the Sopwith experimental department decided in early 1916 to build an entirely new design--a triplane. The completed machine had three narrow-chord wings. The combined wing area of the three mainplanes gave the aircraft plenty of lift. Ailerons were fitted to all three wings; the interplane struts were plain but strong and few bracing wires were needed. The fuselage was a typical Sopwith wooden box girder. Tail- plane, elevators, rudder and fin resembled those of the Pup, but later production models had a tail-plane of reduced area. The handling qualities of the Triplane were excellent. It is now regarded as only slightly less manoeuvrable than the Pup, but many pilots preferred it to the little biplane. The triplane layout was adopted in order to give the pilot the widest possible field of vision, and to ensure maneuverability. The central wing was level with the pilot's eyes and obscured very little of his view, and the narrow chord of all the planes wings ensured that the top and bottom wings interfered less with his outlook than the wings of a biplane. The narrow chord aided manoeuvrability, for the shift of the center of pressure with changes of incidence was comparatively small; this permitted the use of a short fuselage. At the same time, the distribution of the wing area over three mainplanes kept the span short and conferred a high rate of roll.

1/4 scale Fokker DVII fighter.
88" wing span. 70" length. Power: Quadra or similar engine in size. 3 large sheets.
HISTORY: The Fokker D.VII is widely regarded as the best German aircraft of the war. Its development was championed by Manfred von Richthofen. In January 1918, Richthofen tested the D.VII in the trials at Adlershof but never had an opportunity to fly it in combat. He was killed just days before it entered service. When introduced, the D.VII was not without problems. On occasion its wing ribs would fracture in a dive and high temperatures sometimes ignited planes armed with phosphorus ammunition or caused their gas tanks to explode. Even so, the D.VII proved to be durable and easy to fly. As noted by one authority, it had "an apparant ability to to make a good pilot out of mediocre material." When equipped with the BMW engine, the D.VII could outclimb any Allied opponent it encountered in combat. Highly maneuverable at all speeds and altitudes, it proved to be more than a match for any of the British or French fighter planes of 1918.
These are high resolution TIFF files containing 200 x 200 dots per inch.
One file will print a sheet 36" x 75" and the other 2 sheets will be 36" x 71".
