Tom Flynn 1 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 hi Guys I've been looking for someone to make a kit of the old Great Planes Super Sportster 40. Mine is now past its best, so would like a new one. Unfortunately everything is ARTF now, which is not my cup of tea. So any ideas of a good source. I know Belair kits, but was looking for a smaller outfit. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Flynn 1 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hi Dylan, well let's try again. Just got the drawing printed at Staples, I asked for full size but I,m not sure of what I got. As I said orinally this plane was around in the late 80,s great flyer, but they are only RTF these days, which I don't buy. From that you can guess my age. I have in on a memory stick also, so what would you prefer, the drawing as it is, or both. What address do you want me to send it all to. Thanks again Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 **LINK** the plan can be fund here there is also a larger version that I am tempted by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Flynn 1 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hi Phil that's where I got mine from this morning. I have the 60 size plane which I,m still flying, I bought the kit about 1990, and it still flys OK but a it of hanger rash now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 you can also buy a fiberglass cowl and canopy from **LINK** fiberglass specialties. They are in the USA but I have ordered from them before with no issues except the postage can work out a little expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Reynolds LaserCraft Services Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi Tom, If you have it on a memory stick, email it to me and I'll take a look, I know this is out the norm but my personal email is dylan(at)abrv(dot)co(dot)uk, obviously the bracketed parts replace with the appropiate, it just stops spammers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Dylan you could also download the plan from the link above just it see if it is doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Reynolds LaserCraft Services Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 downloaded, just wanted to make sure we are looking at the same thing, but cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Vacforms Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 This thread has stirred a memory that we have a canopy for one of the Great Planes Super Sportster range, but can't remember if it is this size model or one of the others. I don't recall having a specific cowl though. However, and without wishing to appear to be poaching, if you can't get fixed up via Fiberglass Specialties, drop us a line and I'll dig out our stash of 'uncast treasure' and see if we have it.

Dylan Reynolds LaserCraft Services Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi Mr Vortex, I need to get in touch with you regarding something else, do you have a number you can PM me? cheers Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Flynn 1 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Mr Vortex yes I,m interested in the canopy. Either I have the bits laser cut or I spend the winter cutting them out my self. So if you can dig deep and inform me of a price I,lol have it. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
