Ford Tri-Motor control line and R/C Flyers. 1. wing span 78", length 52",powered by a size .61 engine. ALSO REF> ENTRY #3.. Most likely you'll have a better shot at getting the drawing(s) you need, only $10.00 per print. http:www.unclewilliesplans.com/about21.html They have plans for just about every control line and R/C plane ever build and/ or sold as a kit. 2.

| Don Thorson Newcastle, WY | I have designed a 1/6 scale ford over the past ten years. I origonally used three technopower 9 cyl engines but have changed to 3cyl Saito 170's. I am on the third build. The first two were two heavy, about 55 lbs. They flew bu;t were tail heavy. I built the third lighter, about 42 lb and it flies well. I use two receivers with external antenas. I built a roller so I can roll a 23in sheet of corrugated .005 aluminum. If anyone needs more details, pleas email me.

| Bartlomiej Warsaw, AL | I'm looking for the information concerning dimensions of corrugated alluminium sheet of which Ford Trimotor was made. I tried to find this info from web sites but i didn't. Also i'm looking for plans of Ford Trimotor byt in bigger scale. I have one in a scale 1/100 but it is not so much exact. I need better plans for modelling purpose.
If anyone have a/m information i will be much thankfull fo contact: b.sokol@o2.pl With best regards 07/22/2005 @ 08:54 [ref: 10808] |
