Kangaroo.. Australian Glider.. For Alan

[Fred]

Hi everybody, and in particular Alan,

Is it possible for you to do a Hi Res. scan of the Kangaroo's 3 views on the second book of Martin Simons ?
Think that's on page 12 or 14...


Just to have a look of course  :wink:

Thanks a million,

Fred

Sure. I'll have it for you sometime today hopefully. Looks like a nice glider.

[Fred]

i like it Fred.it definitely has an Ozzie look to it.i like the basic no nonsense look to it.and unusual as well.go for it!

Don't know if that's going to be my next project...
Big lack of documentations..Martin Simons sent me the only 2 photos of this glider but they are not usefull at all to build something scale / decent...

I'm a bit disapointed as I like this glider a lot...
But I've found another project, an old one to be exact, but that may change..

I want to build something...My plan to not touching a piece of wood for the remaining of the summer (break from building..) just last 2 weeks... :oops:

We'll see anyway.. I still have 1 or 2 "emergency" projects !

I can see why it would be hard. Just did a search for it on the internet. Could find hardly anything about it.

Hi Alan,

No really.. Only 2 photos of this glider exist...

1 glider (full size), the last remaining is somewhere in Australia and in very bad shape....

So, no documentation available, no scale model...
A 3 views is not enough to build a machine (scale one).
And a semi scale is not that interresting

Ooopsss, sorry Alan, miss read your post...

Unfortunaly, that the pb with really rare subjects...
That's why you see lots of the same subject on the slopes, Or fiberGlass ships  :wink:
