CONSTRUCTION PLANS

With permission of Mike Whittaker
I was really happy to see Mike do all the effort to create these plans. He really wants to share his idea about a flying plank to the world. 
One can only admire his admiration and dedication for low budget aviation.
Just look at this preview. He makes good plans.
Be sure to follow the plans without changes. This set of plans were tested and it was proven it leads to a good airplane. Don't do the typical American mistake and think "Hey, i like the looks, but i want a V8 on it." 

 

Enough said. Here are the plans:

 

IF YOU DOWNLOADED THE PLANS BEFORE July 14 2026 READ THE FOLLOWING INFO!! Mike made a new edition to two plans. Be sure to use the new editions which are now online here. The new plans are 10 (width lower flange increased to 75mm to accommodate the pivot block assy) and 24 (wheel pivot plates opposite way round). Also there is new info about the flight and the flight envelope. Some pages have new  info about how the construction is made.
