Duster plans wanted
I'd like to buy a set of plans for a Duster BJ-1b. These need not be
original and can be a copy as they will not be used to build a glider, only for documentation for an existing Duster that came with no plans. ========================= Leon McAtee Leon@Alluretech dot net N 7852R Original plans #38 |

Hi Leon,
I have a set. I have resisted answering request for Duster plan up to now. The sailplane built from these plan broke in flight, succesfull bail out. The plan were never updated. One such event in a life time is enough. It is up to you Leon, I will decide from the answer you give to this post. Gilles (Leon McAtee) wrote in message . com...

Gilles, Could you give us more details on this? The rudder and fin were
redesigned after an in-flight break-up. Was that you? I have built 2 Dusters and flown them for over 400 hours. I consider it a safe design, after the change to the fin and rudder. As with any home-built, the quality of construction may not have been up to aircraft standards and in many cases the builder doesn't follow the designers instructions. More information, please.

It was this aircraft, I was not the pilot. I consider the Duster a safe aircraft. I question putting these plan, not updated, back in circulation. Gilles Thanks, Gilles I can provide the modification information that was issued after the rudder flutter accident. The requester has a completed Duster, he only wants the plans for reference.

Still looking for Duster plans. I purchased a set but after getting
them I discovered they are very old photocopies - and about 80% scale. This would have been good enough for most inspection and confirming conformity to the plans. Unfortunatly I will need to do some repair and some of the information needed (rudder foil shape for example) needs to be full size. So............ I'm still in the market for a set of original Duster plans, or an acurate, modern digital copy. ============================== Leon McAtee Leon @ alluretech.net (JJ Sinclair) wrote in message ...

I'd like to make sure this particular one is at least built
per plans. The more information I can get the better my final decisions will be - I hope. The modified Duster has a fabric covered rudder with a counterbalance on top. The forward fin attachment is also strengthened. JJ Sinclair |
