Alan Gorham_ Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Flair have not traded for some years so you will need to source a plan elsewhere sadly. It's a very simple model with lots of straight lines so if you are repairing or refurbishing then I would question if you need a plan? If you want to build from scratch then the plan doesn't show all the parts. A company near Blackpool called Propguy offers a kit that is based on the Hannibal but it is rather expensive in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Alan, yes I would agree with you re the price, looks expensive. I was looking for a plan as I was thinking of building one. Are you saying that a plan is available for the Hannibal? Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J D 8 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 A visit to Outerzone model plans maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I am saying that the plan is not commercially available, nor us it on plan hosting sites such as Outerzone. But I also meant that the plan does not show the sizes and shapes of many of the pre-cut components in the kit (fuselage formers, wing ribs etc). So you would have to do a bit of scribbling to derive these parts shape even if you had a plan.

Andy Stephenson Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Basil, I know someone who has a Hannibal which was part of an estate, it has a petrol engine of some sort but I'm not sure of the size. I am told that it needs some remedial attention but he would like it to go as it is taking up space. If you are interested in an already built one I can put you in touch. I don't think he would need much for it. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I have this digital plan of the Hannibal which has clearly been produced by a German gentleman but I don't recall it's origin. Perhaps someone on the Forum can remind me if they know. As said earlier by Alan, a little work is required to draw the fuselage formers and ribs but all the information is there on the plan if you have a little experience working with drawings. I am sure one of the drawing programs would help here but being old school I find a pencil, set square and ruler is adequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Actually that plan does show a head-on view of the cowl which would be enough to get the shape of the firewall from. The Rib outline is there too, so only needs the positions of the LE, TE and spars drawing in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers Bowlan Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Thank you Robert, I couldn't find the .dwg file on my computer or the email you kindly sent although I have now. I only located the PDF file when I posted and unfortunately your name wasn't attached to it. Like you say all the required info is in the .dwg file but at present I don't have a CAD program that can open it, but I am sure my printers can. I will forward the files, if that is OK? Thank you again. Edited By Piers Bowlan on 28/12/2020 17:34:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited By Piers Bowlan on 28/12/2020 17:34:30 You are welcome. The more Hannibals the merrier! I believe Carbon Copy can supply a GRP cowl and I think Inwood models can supply an aluminium one.

Kevin Fairgrieve Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Carbon Copy supplied the cowl for mine. Sprayed with silver looks quite convincing. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 There is also a f/glass cowl available from carbon copy. Just bought one. I am looking for some wheels if anybody has some that size. Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Colbourne Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Matthew How, who took over Martin Thompson's model buying and selling business, has just listed a Hannibal this evening amongst his latest haul for sale. Look for 'A Plane Olde Bargain' on Facebook. He puts his phone numbers in his header, so it should be ok to paste his header with them in here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Sadly, none of Inwoods alu. cowls will suit a Hannibal. But DB does a 1/4 scaler which might suit: cowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Colbourne Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Mike T, Does this one that Inwoods are advertising separately fit? They do mention the Hannibal in the title.

Mike T Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Ah! I missed that one! I stand corrected. 10" is near enough 1/4 scale. If building from scratch (or a plan) then it would be easy to adjust F1 to suit. 6 quid more than the DB one though and the latter has the centre already cut and I think the inner edge turned over.

Basil Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 I was hoping this thread would continue!!!. Lets hear from you want to be Hannibal constructors. I am in fact in the process of constructing, or rather trying to construct a Hannibal. I was hoping to hear from like minded persons to compare notes.
