Plans available from MAN:

fsp02862 Der Jaeger Get into the biplane craze with this great-flying scale model designed by Floyd Manly. At 1/5 scale, it's easy to transport, and the construction is straightforward for fast building. This biplane will get a lot of attention at your flying field. WS: 48.5 in.; area: 707 sq. in.; engine: .40 to .60; 4 channels; 2 sheets. LD3 $ 24.95

If you want a larger plan, take it to a local copy center and have them scale it up. There are kit cuts that will cut you a kit from the plans.

The only kit I know of was a quarter-scale by Balsa USA that hasn't been available for years.

Good Luck!

I guess anything worth saying once, is worth saying twice.

Thanks,

Now have two sets of plans, but need to find a good place to have th kit cut. Any recommendations. I am not CAD friendly, yet, but stil would like to have this done up. Thanks Again Alan

search this group and google for kit cutters. mk

Small but real problem here. You have the plan, OK. I assume it is a "paper copy". I do not know of any "Cutter", who will work from "paper copy". You say, you are "not CAD friendly yet". Looks like you need a two step approach here. Get familiar with CAD, and scan the plans in, if they are "paper copy", or have somebody else do it for you. Get the plans converted to a format that CNC cutters can use.

I do know of a pretty good cutter on the south end of Utah.

HTH.

Try these guys. I got a pretty good quote for a quarter scale Hawker Typhoon. I plan to use them somtime next year. They were reccommended to me.

P.S. The contact I had in Utah, has apparently faded away.
