Broken Prop Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I have inherited a nice three quarters built Flair Tiger Moth, (3 wings and a fuselage) but with no plans or other parts with which to finish it. I have taken patterns from the existing upper wing with which to cut the parts for the missing wing (I have access to a laser cutter) but I have no information on the centre section or wing joiners. Similarly the tailplane is a mystery although I could probably 'blag' that. I have obtained a genuine cowl and ABS mouldings from ebay (thanks to Kevin B for the pointer) so I am in a good position to finish the kit. However a set of plans would help no end on items such as those described above and also wing incidences, dihedral, CG etc. If anyone has a set of plans in any condition I would be happy to pay copying and postage costs. yours in hope Pete.

Broken Prop Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi Guys Sorry about the late response to your posts but life got in the way. Thanks to all who responded to my request with advice but I am still unable to source a plan. Has anyone out there got a copy that they can reproduce for me? Reimbursement of costs of course Still hopeful Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manish Chandrayan Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Pete,why not put up a wanted Ad in BMFA. I am sure some one will have the kit or the plans and willing to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Prop Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Thanks Manish. The BMFA Classifieds was going to be my next port of call but as this forum is the fount of all knowledge I thought I would try here first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterF Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 You could try registering with RCScaleBuilder (www.rcscalebuilder.com) site as there have been quite a few Flair Tiger Moth threads on there and contacting the people who have built them. The CoG should be located at the rear of the fuel tank, I have seen that mentioned in the Flair TM threads and that is where the Falcon Models 1/4 scale TM that I have balances. Can't help with Flair TM plans I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Prop Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Thanks for the pointer Peter (and for the CG position). I'll try rcscalebuilder as well as the BMFA. It would be nice to finish off this venerable old lady as the assembies that I have inherited have been well built. I am ok with most of the construction needed but as Percy has pointed out, the wing joiners need to take account of wing sweep and dihedral. I could draw the joiners up myself, but would prefer to follow the proven method used by Flair. Thanks again Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Parker Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi BP, The chap who is selling the tiger moth refurb kit and the pup short is Dean from Flair, have you tried asking him to see if he could help Regards Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Prop Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi Robert I have to admit that I had not thought of that. Perhaps it was a bit too obvious. Thanks for the pointer. BTW I have been avidly following your Do24 build blog. Wonderful stuff and please give us more of the same! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stearman65 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Back in 2005/6 I built the Flair Stearman. I don't know if the build is anything like the moth but I've dug out a few pics of the wing fixings just in case they may help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Prop Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Yes I have the plans on order thanks to Robert Palmer who kindly drew my attention to the ad earlier today. Thanks to all for the useful tips posted in response to my earlier plea. As always this forum is a veritable mine of information. I am particularly grateful for the photographs as they are always of help during a build. I intend to continue gathering the necessary accessories over the summer (spot me in the traders area at the NATS later on) and start the build as next winter's project. Once again thanks to all for your kind assistance. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
