alibodin:
My canopy is also clear. On the plan it is black and there is information in the canopy area that I can not read.

Anyone got an old copy of the plan with the detail in the canopy area?

I Wonder if some of you know what the aerofoil is:name/type? It looks different from what I saw way back.

Hi Joern,

Welcome to the forum  :D

I can't really answer your question (cannot find any info), but seeing the age of the plan, I would bet on an Eppler, the 2 series.
Might worth to be compared with a E203, E210 and the like as they were very popular at the time (and still are, my ASH 25 uses one of the Eppler 201 - 203 combination).

After that, maybe a HQ? :?:

Rasmussen:
Hi Fred.

Thank you very much.

I will look up the profile data`s. It really does`nt matter but I am just curious.
When you say age of the plan, how old do you think it is?, can`t se any year/dates.

cheers Joern

  :D

Fred:
Hi Joern,

I think the plan is a good 20 years old. If someone can confirm  :D

Peter:
Hi Joern & Alistair,

Are you both building the Mike Trew version?  This plan must be over 30 years old. The canopy area on my plan is grey(!) rather than black and the text on it reads '1/8 plywood or paxolin canopy frame' - I made mine from plywood.  The airfoil I suspect is a scale one - I'm not sure what it is. There are certainly more efficient sections for models around but it flew fine on the slope.  It looks a similar section to on Roy's Cirrus. Good luck with your builds and post some pictures.  I've just started on a Slingsby Gull Mk 1 from the Paul Dean plan - endless fret sawing but formers are now cut. Will start a separate thread once it begins to take shape.

Peter
