For the M337:
The Great Lakes Biplane 2T-1A from Great Lakes Plans Co looks like it
fits your criteria.



I feel it's what that guy is looking for, thanks. Failed to find who sells
the plans, still looking.

Where would I find info on this one? Great Lakes Plans Co doesn't
Google for me.


I pulled the info off the Aerocrafter CD version 8.0 (2001?). The
contact info provided for the Great Lakes Biplane 2T-1A is:

Great Lakes Plans Co.
1900 Millview Lane
Couer D'Alene, ID 83814-7622
Phone: 800-228-7794
Fax: 208-664-8540
Web page: none
Email address: none

also, when I did a google search I found
http://www.steenaero.com/articles_detail.cfm?ArticleID=15, from which
I quote:
" Plans for the Great Lakes Trainer had been available until February,
1972, when Harvey Swack sold the rights to the 2T-1A to the current
Great Lakes Aircraft Company. More than 250 sets of plans had been sold.
However, the new company, headed by Douglas L. Champlin of Enid,
Oklahoma, plans to build complete airplanes, plus supply certified
components for restorers and homebuilders, and thus cannot continue to
offer a plans service. "

Makes it sound like plans are not available, but that is confusing since
EAA Aerocrafter listed it as a "plans available" homebuilt.

Running a phone number search in google turns up:
Hern Iron Works http://www.hernironworks.com/, and
Greyhound Pets Inc. http://www.greyhoundpetsinc.org/

neither of which mention anything about Great Lakes biplanes.

Does anyone else here have better information?
