I've just seen your post, Cliff, the plan is by Jim Owen, downloaded from the SS site some time ago. Some errors on the fuselage plan.

Formers in the cockpit area were the wrong shape, and the two main formers were not as tall as shown on the fuz side view, which seem to be correct. The wing and tailplane are ok but he's drawn the main spar parallel with the LE, which results in the sheeting at the tip being wider that scale. I notice that the plan is still shown on the list, but not in the "Available for download" section?

Thanks William, did you redraw and keep the former drawings? I will not put it up for download until corrected.

My 1/5 scale Chris Williams Minimoa is ready for her maiden flight when I am feeling brave and can feel my fingers. It should be a doddle as I am now "type approved" on the prototype. :?
