Martin Harris - Moderator Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 You could try this I'm sure I remember a Traveler kit being available (was it a Cambrian?) in the mid 70s but there aren't likely to be very many lurking in your local model shop! If anyone can confirm this it might be worth dropping an email to [email protected] in case they still have the plans - or even be planning to re-release it as they have done with a couple of kits recently. I made a casual enquiry last year to see if they could point me in the direction of the producer of the canopy for a long obsolete Mooney 201 that I'd acquired and they told me it had just gone back into production and they would have stock in less than a week's time! (And they did.) Edited By Martin Harris on 16/08/2010 13:16:42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnstormer 52 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 A friend of mine, whom I met while a rookie member of Elmridge Model Club, built the Grumman kit by Cambrian. He powered it with an HB40 that was fitted with, what was quite revolutionary at the time, a Perry Pump. The model flew well, but the engine refused to run reliably. We must have spent eon's looking for the cause and never found it. It used to take off like a scalded cat but the moment he throttled back a bit the HB cut. I lost count of the dead stick landings, which kept the amusment level up. Doug Robertson - if you are out there. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Just noticed that the Cambria Grumman Traveler (one day our friends across the pond will learn to spell!) is shown in the "Way We Were" feature of the July '76 issue in the latest issue of the mag. Did you ever find anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamus O'Leprosy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 This AA5 was the first plane I flew in. I would love to get my hands on a Cambrian Kit or plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seamus O'Leprosy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks I had checked out Dons plans before, it's a beute but a bit big and I hope someone finds a AA5 Cambrian plan. (Alex W I know you have one) that they are willing to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
