Got the decals applied. They were printed out on my Inkjet printer from a "Word" template.

Other components completed - Canard Foreplane wing, two triangular fins for the canard, Rudder, Stabilizer, Elevator, and two Ailerons. The Wing Struts all have a 0.015" piano wire sticking out from both ends.

Here is a pic of Curtiss showing his shoulder cradle frame which was hinged at the bottom, allowing him to "push/lean" left or right with his shoulders, to push or pull the aileron control wires attached near the top of the cradle.

This is the right hand side of the big "Cleveland" plan. There are no Rudder pedals in this version, only a Rudder Tiller that works off of control wires attached to the control column stick. It also shows details of the "Shoulder Cradle" yoke harness that controled the interplane Ailerons positioned between the wings, and Curtiss' ingenious method of contol wires and pulleys connecting to the Aileron control horn drive arms.

This is the left side of the "Cleveland" Plan that I bought from John Jacox, which shows a foreplane Canard wing, hence the term "Headed" pusher - a very detailed plan, which also shows the Raoberts 4-X, 50 hp, two cycle engine which I will try to replicate. This plan is also printed out in 1/16 scale. Wings are 19 1/2", and 24 5/8" with the ailerons sticking out past the wing tips.

Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher 25" is built using an RN printwood kit and plan - scale 1:1/16 or (3/4" = 1 foot) Wings are 22" with the Ailerons sticking out past the wing ends -25 3/4". This plan has no "Canard" foreplane wing - hence the term "Headless". I intend on making a canard version, so I bought a Cleveland Plan also.

Crank case must be sanded to shape.
