Notes from Jerry with comments specific to plans "These plans were developed from a complete set of Grumman factory drawings provided by Vince Juliano, a Grumman Historian. The plans are very detailed and include scale locations of ribs, formers, airfoils, offsets, and incidences. The plans are intended for the experienced builder. The engine installation shown of the plans is for the Moki 215/250 radial. Battery, radio-gear and main gear retract access are via removable scale access hatches. The main gear retracts are currently under development by Century Jet Models."
