Kangaroo.. Australian Glider.. For Alan
« on: July 21, 2006, 10:49:56 AM »
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

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 !  :P

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  :P
