Which sport/acro biplane from plans?

"David Hill" ???????/???????? ? ????????

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.



It may seem to be strange list of engines but the simple reason is that
both
M14P and Walters are still available here for the reasonably low cash.
It's
still available to find, say, never-run M332 or M337 for $3-4 K.

Really? Hmmmmm, I wonder how much shipping one to the US would cost?


I don't know exactly but it seems to be something around 6-7 bucks per 1 kg
gross weight if shipped to the other side of the Pond. I shipped abroad
something heavy only once and it was years ago, can define if interesting -
e-mail me.

Cheers,

Back in the nineties Buecker Jungmaenner showed up at Lakeland. They were
built from plans and I remember meeting the plans designer, who is now
deceased. Big stocky man. Somebody stole the socks off his prop blades.
Beautiful aeroplane, er, Flugzeug, and wouldn't that M14-P look great on the
nose! You could call it Die Schmetterling, da?

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?

Going back to the Aerocrafter CD I found another Great Lakes biplane:

Great Lakes Sport Trainer
Great Airplanes Inc.
PO Box 615
Needham, MA 02494
Phone: 781-444-5480
Fax: 781-444-5480
Web Page: www.greatairplanes.com
Email Address: greatairplanes at aolBUTREMOVETHISFIRST.com

The website makes it sound like Harvey Swack is still providing plans.
