Looking for Designs....
I was wondering if anyone knew of a site or series of sites that had the plane of choice's (being the craft that you wanted to build) actual dimensions?
I've been interested in a few different planes (the F4U Corsair to be one) to build, but lack the actual dimensions of the plane to scale it down to what I want.
Could anyone show me how you look up planes that you want to build?
Thanks ...

RE: Looking for Designs....
The best source is scale threeviews. What you need is a threeview with as many cross sections as possible. A good place to start looking is www.bobsairdoc.com . I do not have any connections to this company other than being a customer. You can find nearly anything you wish among his drawings which are all on paper.

some drawings are better than others, some have dimentions, some are simple line drawings, but it's a simple start
